Are Billionaires mentally ill / evil?

I mean, sure I know the thread title is a bit much, but at what point of accumulating wealth does it become OCD/hoarding/narcissism or flat out evil.

I would think at 250 million, or so, a normal human would begin to really start giving the rest away to make the world better. Certainly by 1 billion if you just wanted bragging rights.

With 250 million, you could live an opulent lifestyle and have money set up for all your kids and their descendants to be well off.

They say money corrupts so it makes you wonder about the mentality of the people who just can’t stop accumulating wealth after the first say 250 to 1000 million dollars. They almost have to be warped/OCD/hoarder types and / or massive narcissistic tendencies and / or simply evil.

Remember before you defend, many of these people are despots / oligarchs / dictators. Also remember before you defend these people in human history the last 6000 years billionaire predecessors were almost all most cruel emperors/kings and queens / barbarians hoarding their wealth from conquest and tax of the conquered / peasants.

Cliffs notes: Billionaires should be shunned and made unpopular because almost by definition they are not good people. Sadly, right now they are more often deified and borderline worshipped. A better trend would be to deify and worship the people who give their billions away.

Reuters: Trump to discuss ending childhood vaccination programs with RFK Jr.

Dec 12 (Reuters) - U.S. President-elect Donald Trump in an interview published on Thursday said he will be talking to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., his nominee to run the Department of Health and Human Services, about ending childhood vaccination programs.

When asked if he would sign off if Kennedy decided to end childhood vaccinations programs, Trump told Time magazine, "we're going to have a big discussion. The autism rate is at a level that nobody ever believed possible. If you look at things that are happening, there's something causing it."

When asked if the discussion could result in his administration getting rid of some vaccinations, Trump said: "It could if I think it's dangerous, if I think they are not beneficial, but I don't think it's going to be very controversial in the end."

Asked in the Nov. 25 interview if he thinks childhood autism is linked to vaccines, Trump said: "No, I'm going to be listening to Bobby," referring to Kennedy. Trump said he had a lot of respect for Kennedy and his views on vaccinations.

What Christmas gifts did you buy that you're excited to give your family?

I bought my parents 2 of these inverted umbrellas. I bought one myself a month ago. It's pretty cool. When you close it, the umbrella doesn't drip water everywhere which is super clutch when you're getting into your car.

It also has a reflective strip on it that lights up at night when car lights hit it.

How about you?

Weird stuff going on in Bennington, NE.

I've seen updates for several days on this story, and it looks like the police are making progress. Multiple people have reported that while driving a night they came upon debris in the road, and had to swerve to avoid hitting it. In one case the driver could not successfully avoid the debris and wound up in a ravine. Each driver reported a man walking up to them after the accident. The immediate speculation being that the man was putting the debris into the road to cause the incidents.

Celebrating losing close

What is wrong with some of us? I'm quite disappointed by the amount of people celebrating losing close to Michigan and ISU. Teams don't make the tournament by losing close games. Iowa dropped 11 spots in the NET by losing last night. Even 1-1 in the last two drastically improves the analytics. Those who keep saying Iowa will be alright, will be really disappointed come March 17th when Iowa is on the Vegas postseason tournament.

The Pentagon…lol

So the Pentagon comes out and says they just found out we have double the amount of troops in Syria than they thought.
Good management going on it appears
