Justin Sun's newest antics
So, I recently switched to Edge as my default browser and I haven't yet killed all the default news links it adds to the home page by default. Imagine my surprise when I see ol' Sunny-Boy's face pop up. I knew even before reading the title that he was up to something stupid, and of course was confirmed to be correct once I read the actual article.
Maybe it's just me being a cynical anti-capitalist, but I feel like some folks (Sun, to be sure) have too much freaking money. Dude's out here blowing 6.2 million on a dumbass stunt like this, while the vast majority of the world will never have even 1 million to their names. At a certain point, we've got to realize that the ultra-rich got there on us. There isn't anyone on the planet who earned a billion dollars, it's total bullshit that the rich and powerful feed us to keep us dumb and docile. A few million? Cool, yeah, that I can see being earned. Hell, even a few hundred million, I get... but a BILLION? Nah man, once you actually conceptualize how much a billion is... nobody should have that. Hit 900 Million and get a plaque saying "congratulations, you beat capitalism" and then the rest above that goes to taxes. Nobody can even spend that amount in a lifetime without doing absolutely mind-numbingly stupid shit.
I'm not against being wealthy, but I am against being ultra-wealthy. That's a disparity that is only made by screwing over everyone below you. And antics like buying some dumb banana "art" and eating it displays that the ultra-wealthy are completely out of touch with the common folk. What a dumb way to spend money.
