    There are no good billionaires.

      Yep there are a couple thousand people with an outsized impact on society and at anytime they could organize and do a lot of good. But they all sit by quietly and actively destroy the society that gave them so much.

      That’s not true! No matter what kind of billionaire he was in life, now he is a good billionaire. You might also say that all dead billionaires are good billionaires.

        You do not retain assets when you die. There is no such thing as a good billionaire.

      They still had family and friends, and people who loved them.

      I agree that having such vast amounts of money can’t be a good thing whichever way you look at it, but expressing joy when someone dies is just not civilized in my opinion. It just isn’t.

        What good do you think will come from simping for billionaires?

          I never said anyone should be simping. I’m just saying that we can have some human decency and not celebrate someone’s death. It’s not like his death will cause his wealth to be distributed evenly among the rest of us. No reason to throw a party and ridicule by saying shit like “is the bee okay?” (no matter how funny it is).
