> The idea that a private individual, no matter how wealthy is able to literally exact a toll on society is ridiculous.
How else do you think that individuals are able to become billionaires? They're not ten thousand times smarter or stronger or harder-working than the rest of us. Bezos is worth $180B because he's paying his warehouse drones $13.60 an hour while they run from shelf to shelf and pee in bottles, contributing value to society far in excess of the pay they're receiving. The difference is pocketed by Jeff.
