You could pay my friend a livable wage so he could live in his own property for the first time in his life or you could keep the money for yourself. You are entirely dependent on him doing his job for you to earn anything, and you choose to keep the money for yourself. And you truly don't see how keeping all the money for yourself is stealing his wages? Oh and also there are hundreds of thousands of people in my friends situation, but there's only like 500 of you.

first off its not my job to analyze every specific thief. But since I have nothing else to do right now: do you think sport stadiums and sport organizations are just like immutable laws of nature? They're just always there? No, there are legions of people who work to make these events happen, and the athletes steal basically all the money. For crying out loud, the Qatar world cup stadium was built using literal slave labor. All those morally corrupt athletes still played there.

You have ~~thief~~ billionaire athlete friends (a claim I am dubious of). Well, I have friends who work in the sports industry who are 50 and can't afford to move out of their parents basement. They are employed full-time and work at least three jobs.

Its so hard so we should never try and just let all the disgusting poors die like pigs in the street. Got it.

And its not worth ever trying to change anything for future generations, fuck your loser kids, you got yours right?

Billionaires have all the money that will ever be needed to fix this problem forever. Your friend (who is 100% part of the problem) included. I want to take their wealth back and invest it in the people, like any functional society worth a damn would do.

You know I got super high a few weeks ago and imagined something similar to this so I'm pretty sure they're on to something here.

These hospitals all crumbled and failed because they were no longer profitable, which is not a problem that exists in a socialist run country.

Its just a part in the equation where you're dividing by zero, that's all. We know you cant divide by zero, so it means our theories are incomplete.

The gravastar theory is notable (IMO) because it does away with the singularity. Although, it seems like this theory is borderline unfalsifiable, since any way you could detect a gravastar would also be insistinguishable from a black hole.

Personally, I am of the (completely unsubstantiated) opinion that black holes create universes (somehow) because it is a simple, succinct answer to many questions. So, any theory that takes that seriously would be worth further research, imo. But until there is some kind of observational evidence, I think this is just relegated to the realm of "that's a neat thing that math can do".

It has to do with a government who rejects social safety programs in favor of wall street run corporations.

I really am not sure how to break this to you.

What would you call a government who embraces social safety programs against the interests of wall street run corporations?

By asking them nicely?

I'm fucking enraged that we live in a system that lets dragons horde mountains of gold while their nextdoor neighbors starve to death or are buried in medical debt that is mathematically impossible to get out of. And idiots like you are over here going, "but guys, Smaug is nice to meeeeee". You being OK with any of it means you're 100% oblivious to the context that this conversation happens in.

Communism

Oh no! ANYTHING but THAT! Could you imagine living in a world where people don't die because they can't afford insulin? I shudder just thinking about it. Thank God those disgusting poors die like they're supposed to, that's the American Way™

I'm not reading all that because there's no such thing as an ethical billionaire. Oh I'm sure they're plenty nice to your face, but you can't earn a billion dollars. You can only steal it.

If you aren't going to answer the question, then I will just assume that you didn't vote and handed the election to Trump.
