    I do believe you have to have serious mental health issues to remain a billionaire, and I do pity them; in a perfect world the possibility of such wealth disparity wouldn’t exist, and those with those tendencies would get the help they need without being surrounded by yes-men hoping for a sliver of wealth. They are probably incredibly emotionally isolated and lonely, and the pain they cause through hoarding is inexcusable and it would be better for everyone if that wealth was redistributed, including themselves.

    Unironically yes. If you just come into a billion dollars (like inheritance or something) and just kinda exist, that’s one thing, but constantly needing more like most of the rich is a mental illness. The only way to justify actually chasing that much money is by trying to fundamentally reshape society, but when they do that it’s only to feed their obsession with More rather than trying to create a world they’d want

      It’s time some psychologist or doctor says it and does a study or something, because I’ve been saying this for years. They are a threat to theselves and others and they need to be treated, but you can’t do that uless it’s recognized as an illness.
