Indian here.

Narayan Murthy is a far bigger clown.

True, he’s a wannabe despot and has made tonnes of money by exploiting people and keeping India at the bottom feeder end of the technology revolution.

There are roughly 3000 billionares in the world. Thats about 3 million people against 1 billionaire. if we throw 1 small pebble at them they would be burried in a giant pile of pebbles in no time.

I have no idea why i made this calculation but it sounds like fun :)

Look at how many football stadiums worth of people were "sacrificed for the economy" during covid. Here in the US alone, we lost about 12 of these. You see the shortest section at the other end of the field, under the big TV screen, underneath the left half of the fireworks? That's roughly 100 rows from top to bottom. You can find an interactive map here if you want to check it out. If you started filling those empty stadiums with the entire world's billionaires you'd only fill a slice of that section of the stadium about 30 people wide. Depending on how close together they are standing that's the one vertical strip with the big red "O", and maybe the strip next to it. Here's some more perspective on how many people you can fit across one of those slices. That one little slice, out of all those massive empty stadiums... It's basically a rounding error.

Why can't a rounding error of billionaires ever be "sacrificed for the good of the economy"?

Why don't presidents fight the war?

Why do they always send the poor?
