    IMO it starts way before 1 billion too.

    Like what kind of moron do you have to be to have 250.000.000 in your bank account and wake up every morning thinking you need to get more?

    It truly is a mental illness, and for the no-empathy part, we have no treatment.

      Starts before that even…there are way too many “temporarily embarrassed millionaires” out there who are absolutely wrecking potential class solidarity while the rich just take us all for everything we’re worth. Many of them are MAGA, which does help to explain both the mental illness and burned out empathy circuits.

      I would only want to accumulate more so that I could do more to help people. When you’re past a billion, you essentially print money on a near permanent basis on it just existing.
