    He doesnt make that in actual money tho. Rich people’s value are vibes based egregors summoned through the stock market. So, in a similar vein, if the stock market crashes and never recovers, he loses most of his money. This is why I propose ripping down Wallstreet to starve the machine.

      You don’t want the stock market destroyed. That is how retirements are funded as well.

      You want to restrict ownership of an individual stock. Limit them to 5% or so. Also make every stock have 1 vote, no exceptions.

          Pensions are funded by the stock market as well. Pension funds are some the largest landlords as well.
