Reply to comment by jasoncross00 in [OC] Zoom CEO Eric Yuan will be taking a 98% pay cut and forego his bonus for FY2023 by giteam

Agreed with ya until the end. Hyperbolic as fuck. 21 million+ Americans have at least $1mil in net worth. Only 0.5-1mil people are homeless on any given night in America. There are 300million+ people in this country, and around 7-800 billionaires.

Surprise surprise, if you build a ridiculously profitable company which provides a widely used good/service… you’re going to be ridiculously wealthy. If you do not build such a company or provide such a good/service of high value and need… you will have to continue to earn a regular income in whatever ways you are able to do so.

What makes you think the average person should not have to produce something of high value to their community in order to achieve the capability to live as if they have a billion dollars? I’m confused.
