Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

Commercially successful for the individual, but what at cost for everyone else? No one becomes this wealthy without shortcuts. And those shortcuts affect us all, whether you care to look at it or not.
You really believe that successful people who work their ass off to make something of their lives are all assholes who take short cuts?
The root of the argument here is that billionaires are not a sign of economic success, even for the individual. It's an enormous shortcoming, failure, and monument to greed.
Oh I completely agree. I should have put "commercially successful" in quotes.
