The richest man in the world is..........?

It's just capitalism. People will get richer and richer. Why criticize the system when these people earn what they got by working and building up their companies. At the end of the day. We as consumers buy their products and earn them money, they were just lucky and made something that everyone wanted.

Because the world is going to hell in a hand-cart famine, drought, gross poverty, a mass extinction event, climate change and pollution. And god knows how many other looming disasters that I'm not even aware of.

Meanwhile this system funnels the planets resources into the hands of a few people who for the most part do nothing at all with it.

I mean take this guy, the clothes he sells are made in third world sweatshops by people living in crippling poverty, earning less than a dollar a day. He could easily afford to pay those people a decent local wage, he wouldn't even miss the money, it would be chump change to him.
But he doesn't so instead tens of thousands will continue to suffer appauling lives.

Capitalism does reward hard work and ingenuity but it also rewards ruthless cruelty. In big business it pays to be callous. That's a big problem for everyone because it means that, for most part the people with the resources and the expertise to actually fix socities problems just don't give a fuck.
