MODERATORS
Not a fan of yachts but it beats the usual rich person hobbies of "buy a politician" or "fund a cult/hate-group"
(okay maybe gamers count as a cult, now that I'm thinking about it)
I'm not even passing judgment on Gabe here. We live in a capitalist society and he came up with a pretty solid idea and built a fortune off of it. I do think we should be taxing the fuck out of it well before a person can buy a fleet of yachts, but I don't think Gabe is the type that's actively perpetuating this system either. He seems like a genuinely nice guy who had a talent and a fair bit of luck.
Lemmy is a hell of a lot more anti-capitalist than I am though and it was wild to see that thread.
I'll pass judgement. No one deserves a billion dollars so long as a single human being is going hungry or without shelter. When the rich are getting eaten, I won't pause because Gabe had a cool storefront.
