> What role did the seed have in making the tree's fruits?

That's not an appropriate analogy here. Without a tree there would be no fruit - without billionaires, we'd still have phones.

> It's PG who built HN.

I stand corrected.

His net worth is estimated at 50m however. He's far closer in wealth to you and I than he is to a billionaire. ~900 million dollars closer.

Probably because he chose not to exploit his gifts in search of endless profit. He made choices to help people around him, instead of exploiting them to the hilt. He probably even pays something like his fair share of taxes, instead of paying dipshits to find loopholes to hide his money.

> Your arguments are crafted and sold by oppressors, dictators and tyrants everywhere.

Buddy, if oppressors and dictators and tyrants were talking about taxing billionaires and saving the environment then we'd have a very different world today.

No idea what planet you're on, but it seems like there's no getting through to you. Good luck to ye.
