Lol, it reminds me of that 30’s Rock skit, the millionaire CEO Boss guy(I think he was played by Alec Baldwin) was demoted to the mail room, the lowest floor and every new scene he would be on a higher floor and had moved himself up on sheer work ethic alone until he was CEO again within a few hours.
Jack Donaghy was a millionaire, not a billionaire, I believe. And iirc, he didn't have seed money like many billionaires today.
He still believes in the traditional American dream and actually pushes back at Kabletown when they wanted to just collect their checks and not do any new initiatives.
He still exploits his workers, don't get me wrong. Though a lot of CEOs could learn a thing or two from him as he repeatedly showed that you need workers to make money.
This is my plan to colonize Mars: Send a billionaire. As a self-made man, he won't need a huge team of workers and costly infrastructure support to build a successful business.
If you don't want to hear about billionaires, I invite you to try.... billionaire controlled media! You will find they are scarcely mentioned at all, except to glorify the accomplishments of individual billionaires, with no consideration of class structure or generational privilege

Sounds like a good idea. We should try it.

Ironic that he's an actual fucking billionaire at this point.
And a zionist at that
This is basically the plot to Schitt's Creek
Honestly it’s amazing that we have any poor left.
Ok maybe I'm stupid and naive, but just to check: was this actually in the show?
I'm 99% sure that it isn't.
Nope!
no

I couldn't care less about billionaires
They are Lemmy circle jerk at this point

You could?
So ....you do care about billionaires?
I couldn't care less about billionaires
So you care at least a little bit then. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to care less.
Right...the way you are saying it means you do care. The term you are looking for is "you couldn't care less".
