Quoting: AltSwede "Oh I'm going to have all these babies, I live in this mudhut and can't even feed myself but damned if I'm not going to have a baby" Then these shits come to my country and mess it up. "But you can't hate on them, they're like poor and shit, so what if they come rape, steal and murder, they're poor people you're supposed to give them apartments and free living because f*** you!" Maybe they should stop doing that and wait until they can afford having children? Why are they not accountable for their own actions? Why do I have to pay for these people, I don't even like them.

Achduke7 User ID: 69637911 United States 01/22/2019 11:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | CNN Business) The world's billionaires are growing $2.5 billion richer every day, while the poorest half of the global population is seeing its net worth dwindle. Quoting: Ohio chic Billionaires, who now number a record 2,208, have more wealth than ever before, according to an Oxfam International report published Monday. Since the global financial crisis a decade ago, the number of billionaires has nearly doubled. The annual study was released ahead of the yearly World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, which brings together some of the wealthiest and most influential people on Earth. The 106-page report is meant to call attention to the growing gap between rich and poor. [link to www.google.com (secure)] That money is not liquid. If they actually used it all they would cause hyperinflation. Achduke |

That sounds like a liberal/socialist type of deal. We should all make our own ways in the world....free handouts shouldn't be a thing. No how about some community projects? Community gardens , or maybe set up an ecovillage outside of every major city so all the homeless can grow their own foods build their own homes n have a chance to be independent n self sufficient along with anyone else not fit for society. This would solve a ton of issues. But it would bring Real change to society and we all know the Zionists won't allow any REAL positive changes to society...... Guided by Christ & The Holy Spirit |

I'm guessing most of those 26 ARE like that- but have not researched them/who they all are. I have a problem with putting ALL well off people in a bad category- it becomes an excuse to take all property/bring in communism, etc. I do understand the dangers of people like Soros and his use of money though. He earned much by destroying nations and people's lives- and continues. Many of his actions have to be illegal though, so the illegal part needs to be addressed. These people are above the law though- also because of their money. |

Fast forward 6 months -- the 3.8 billion poorest are back to being the 3.8 billion poorest, and the only consequence, is that the billionaires (many who were self made) now have little to nothing. Quoting: Lady Jane Smith I disagree with your last part - those billionaires will still have the brains that got them success thr first time and eventually they'll succeed again. I agree they will succeed again, but it will take more than 6 months; however, the "poor" who received the billion$ will only need 6 months before finding themselves poor again. Define "the poor." You are correct -- "poor" -- is relative. By global standards, there are no poor in the US. What do I mean by "poor"? I am referring to the turd worlders with sub 90 IQs who do nothing but reproduce like vermin. People who have zero desire to do anything to improve their situation, but think they are owed something.

We now have situation though, where Big Business are using Robots only for maximizing profits. Especially in the unskilled labor sector. They are literally forcing unskilled workers, for example a hypothetical Burger flipper in to a long-term unemployment useless eater, State dependent situation.Big Business might save say £4 an hour in overhead costs using a Robot to flip burgers. However, the government picks up the long cost of having to provide unemployment benefits, housing benefit etc. Likely running in to tens of thousands of pounds for an unskilled worker. There are millions of people here in the UK that fall in to the unskilled labour category. Mostly In the retail industry, losing their Jobs to self-serving Tills, Robots etc. Over the next few years Robots are ear marked to be taking millions of Jobs from the unskilled worker sector. Many of these people will be poorly educated, and have no chance of getting a Job in the skilled sector. Big business will see negligible rise in profits from each one of these people forced in to unemployment. However, the government will pick up a bill that could run in to billions as more, and more, are forced in to long term unemployment. Big business does not give a shit about the socio-economic impact of their actions. In my opinion this is a financial ticking time bomb. Dogsbollocks |

The ones who are millionaires as children due to inheritance did not earn what they have. They had wealth given to them, and all they have known is wealth and the hoarding of such material things. Quoting: Deep1111 How can a man sleep at night on a thousand dollar pillow when there are homeless people in need of help? Starving children going hungry. It takes a village to raise a chief. That is probably more true for Europe than the US.

Poor life and professional choices, mistakes, screwups, being out-negotiated, too many bong hits, general laziness or simple bad luck.... there are many ways to fail. Thankfully, the world also needs ditch diggers. The simple life directive is to maximize your own personal potential. If that results in a poor showing, try again. And again. And again. But don't think for a second that you will find much sympathy if your chosen pathway to a lifestyle of ease and folded hands is to try and take it from others. You will lose. |
