      $275m is money he took from other people’s excess production.

      He didn’t make that money: he stole it and got lucky.

        I buy my meds from his online store that he set up solely to compete with the absurd pricing of pharmaceuticals in the us. Saving a good bit too. He also made millionaires of most of the employees from his first successful business before he was a billionaire. I hate billionaires and he has surely done some fucked up things, but Mark Cuban does seem to be cut from a different cloth. I definitely appreciate his pharmacy.

          The thing is, there was only ever one good billionaire and he gave his money away to such a degree he was no longer a billionaire. While Mark Cuban has done good, surely even saved and improved many lives, he still has a billion more ways to do so. Plenty of good millionaires out in the world, there are no good billionaires.

          The mere concept of a billion anything is so hard to comprehend that it serves repeating.

          One million seconds is 12 days. One billion seconds is 32 years.

                    Actually the opposite. I love coming here and watching the anti-capitalist screech about “rich man bad poor man good”. I have no feelings against billionaires one way or the other.

                    I was simply pointing out the hypocrisy of calling billionaires bad guys, but giving millionaires a pass.

      You sound like you’d be happy to let Mark Cuban fuck your wife and that’s an embarrassing look bro.
