    Oh, it’s absolutely a pretty severe mental illness. The fact that we raise these very damaged people up on a pedestal and celebrate them doesn’t speak very well of our society.

      “If a monkey hoarded more bananas than it could eat, while most of the other monkeys starved, scientists would study that monkey to see what is wrong with it. When humans exhibit this same behavior, we put them on the cover of Forbes magazine.”

      There’s a lie they told me: you want the rich people to stay in your country, and that’s why we make accommodations for them with reduced taxes and free money. In fact it’s the opposite: tax the hell out of them and redistribute their bananas.
