      Save that $5 a day and put it in a mutual fund and in 10 years you’ll make nothing because inflation will eat any growth you might have had

      Or, a bunch of people who are over the inequality in our world regardless of how the person comes by the money.

      I don’t care if Microsoft pays him a salary or not, hoarding that much wealth is a mental illness that can only be cured by a guillotine
