I feel this is not stressed enough.

The guy owning the local car dealership that has a nice yacht and a holiday appartment in Mallorca is not actually even remotly the same kind of problem like jeff bezos or elon musk.

Sure, noone needs a yacht, but the irder of magnitude is not even remotely comparable.

Owning-class is owning-class. Regardless of the magnitude, they are still exploitative and that is the point.

Individuals aren't the problem, the system that allows individuals to have exploitative and unjust power over others is.

Bernie's a millionaire. Is he exploitative?

Am million dollars isn't yacht money, though. It would take several millions to actually get close.

1 million isn't even enough for a comfortable retirement these days.

A "millionaire" doesn't mean much compared to three decades ago.

And this was 29 years ago. It's even less now!

Yuup. Forgot about that. Decades ago they joked that he didn’t know about billions or trillions.

Seriously. The difference between someone with 2 million dollars and 800 million dollars is about 800 million dollars
