    Can we negotiate to $500 million as a compromise?

    As soon as all the homeless who want help get help then sure.
    As soon as workers are paid fairly and not exploited.
    As soon as people aren’t dying because they can’t afford life saving medicine.

    Look, the rich spend their excess money on stupid shit.
    Like Gabe Newell owning 6 yachts.
    Like that story of Kim Kardashian flying to Paris just for some cheesecake that she really likes.
    Like Nic Cage spending millions on a T-Rex skeleton.

    All that money could have went to food banks or social programs.

    So, rewarding inventors and company founders with excess wealth
    doesn’t benefit society and it really doesn’t benefit them other than
    their ego.

      Yeah I’m down with that concession.

      Let me say fuck anyone really who can’t get here?

      I’m allowing more than I am comfortable with on lyrical of argument.

      500M is not only ridiculous but achievable given our agreement.
