    You know what the difference between a million and a billion dollars is?

    About a billion dollars.

    Not to mention, your comment kinda glosses over the systemic racism that this country is built on.

      35 percent of billionaires are not white.

      492 billionaires exist.

      It’s 2024.

      Rich vs poor is a larger issue that white vs not white.

      It’s not 1700 when all the rich were British, or 1850 when all the rich were white.

      All this rhetoric is outdated.

      If you want to talk about oppression, talk about the CEO of Infosys and how he has crippled India and a very large stake in global technology.

        How about both problems are still an issue?

        Billionaires shouldn’t exist. All billionaires are bad.

        And the US is still a racially divided country because we can’t get our shit together due to systemic racist issues that are still here.
