for their survival, yes, but these freaks could stop when they get a few million and are set for life.
there's, maybe fewer than 20-50 years ago, people who build regional business and retire instead of trying to take over the world. there's a couple chain restaurants around here that don't push to expand forever because the owners (who are doing actual administrative work not just sitting on ass getting day drunk every day only collecting surplus value) don't want to deal with the extra work and don't trust someone they'd hire to do it.
what's the difference between Eat at Joe's Hamburger and the walton family? Why is Elon like that? why is Zuck? There are well-adjusted multi-millionaires, something else is going on with the most ghoulish of the ghouls.
