Say you’re on a yacht with your principal and they had a few tequilas, and then they’re like, “Oh, come on. Join us.” Ultimately, you have to remember that you are there because they’re paying you. It’s a job. They’re not your friend. Obviously, you need to share compassion and empathy. Sometimes your boss needs you to be a shoulder to cry on.

    I don’t know what kind of math you’re using, but Half of all the wealth in the world is ABSOLUTELY enough for everyone to live modest but not impoverished lives.

    Counterintuitively, extreme poverty is kind of a separate issue to extreme wealth, at least in the West.

    It ABSOLUTELY is not. That extreme wealth is the result of extreme exploitation of poor people and societal structures designed specifically to benefit the already rich at the expense of everyone else and of hoarding of resources that are thus kept from everyone else.

    I don’t know if you’re aware of it or not, but you’re spreading insidious disinformation that the ultra-rich and their pr teams employ to minimize perception of their wealth and deleterious effect on society as a whole.
