I don't have children or pets.
My job consists of feeding hungry people not sucking on mammon's dick like an office drone.
So a small piece of your anti-humanity, Malthusian philosophy dies with you?
Well, finally some good news in this thread!

Can anyone name a billionaire who has fed fewer people than Monte?
Drug kingpins included.
Open challenge.

For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Challenge part 2:

Can anyone name any billionaires who have provided fewer living wages and opportunities than Monte?
Drug kingpins included.
:think:

Because if we're assessing who really is a drag on the planet, we should probably consider these questions honestly.

Love of money is the root of all evil.

We're not talking about money here, we're talking about the environment.
Well you are, because you value money far more than the environment.
That is the root cause of the damage man does to the planet.
The never ending pursuit of economic growth is not sustainable.

economic growth is doing more to help the environment than you ever will

by several orders of magnitude

envy is the root of your evil, it results in your hatred of human success and drives you to want success to be punished

your inability to see that economics and environment need not be at odds with each other, is why you are a fake environmentalist

it's not about saving the environment, that comes second, destroying the economy and the livelihoods of those whose behavior you don't approve of comes first with you, even if that hurts the environment

Money is just a medium of exchange, a tool in the hands of its wielder.
I don't love money any more than I love a hammer when I have boards to nail.

Challenge Part 3:

How many billionaires have sustained fewer lives, given access to less medicine, or funded less education for children than Monte?
:think:

Who are the evil ones again?
The ones funding and providing everyone opportunities to access medicine and education for children?
Or the ones who think humans should die so a spotted owl has more nesting options?
Because the needy children may die too.
But hey, I mean, they aren't spotted owls.
So I guess it really depends on what you value.

(And remember, you're not going to run the NHS off Monte's income. That's going away too)
