   *Why billionaires should be ILLEGAL*   
   /The Market Exit, 17.1K subscribers, 5 Sept 2024/   
      
      
   "I'm Andres Acevedo and this is The Market Exit. In a world where wealth   
   accumulation has no bounds, the gap between the richest and the poorest   
   only widens. But what if there were limits? This is the core question   
   behind the concept of Limitarianism, which suggests setting caps on   
   individual wealth to promote a more equitable society.   
      
   In this video, we delve deep into the idea of setting an "enough line"   
   for wealth, inspired by Ingrid Robeyns' influential book,   
   "Limitarianism." We explore the ethical and political limits of wealth,   
   questioning how much is truly enough and whether billionaires should exist.   
      
   We discuss the practical implications of implementing wealth caps, the   
   philosophical underpinnings of the concept, and the potential impact on   
   democracy and capitalism. From Elon Musk's staggering fortune to the   
   subtle manipulations of political power by the super-rich, we cover the   
   astronomical differences in wealth and why they matter."   
   ~~~   ~~~   
      
   Extreme wealth can clearly rot people's the brains. Just look at for   
   instance Space Kare Elon or Murdoch or that Orange Man from Mar-a-Lardo.   
      
   As we all live on a tiny planet with limited resources and available   
   living space wealth ownership can easily becomes a zero sum game.   
   While a few becomes super wealthy the rest of us has to dearly pay for   
   their ruthless egotism and addiction to power over us.   
      
   Yeah...so really how much accumulated wealth is enough?   
      
   Inequality galore must stop!   
   Time to tell these creeps:     *Enough must be Enough!*
