    How many of those millionaires contribute something positive to the world? There are some who’ve made systems to automatically reset power breakers on distribution lines, automate management of water flow to large farms, etc.

    Then there are morons like you who sell pillows filled with low quality foam out of their garage.

      And who decides whether it’s positive… you? You, Mr. Loser on lemmy who wants to quantify value, not based on people’s valuation for it, who freaking paid for it, but based on whatever standard gives you free money so that you don’t feel like such a loser serving coffee in Starbucks? Get out of here!

        Uh, moron, look up the difference between “quantify” and “qualify”. You’ve swapped them, but I’m not surprised.

        Anyway yeah, in discussions with a large number of people across different walks of life, the important things in life seem to be clean running water, quality food and the ability to make positive change in the world we had no choice being born into.

        What is positive change? Slightly nebulous, but it seems to center on making people around them happier and have an easier life. Money doesn’t seem to factor into that, it’s more about “quality” of life. Wouldn’t you want that for your friends and family too?
