      I feel like because of how much insider bullshit there is, there’s a good chance the billionaire would get rich again even if they were left with only $1mm

      They’d go to their investor buddies and ask for funding for their new startup, and they’d be right back to being ownership class.

      They wouldn’t suffer. I want them to suffer. I think that’s the only way they’d learn empathy.
