At the risk of sounding like Bernie Sanders (and maybe having some reading this tune out automatically), *this* list is why society shouldn't have billionaires.
There is something legitimately wrong with people who hoard enough wealth than a person could spend in 1000 lifetimes, let alone a single lifetime. It's sociopathic.
David Thomson from the Jets is Canada's richest person with a net worth of $34 billion.
Someone on Twitter pointed out if he paid all TNSE employees *$50,000* for the balance of the NHL season, his net worth at the end of it would be...$34 billion dollars.
It's obscene, it's sickening, and my hope is that the craziness we are experiencing right now will result in some deeper changes in society about how we view each other, how we support each other, and how we care for those with the least among us.
