    Same as it ever was. First of all, we’re talking basically about infinite money, past a certain number it transitions into a qualitative regime. Several people have had that over the course of human history. Most of them were fucking murderous douchecunts. History shows that they either pass their power to other douchecunts, with the chain broken by incompetence over many generations and at the cost of countless lives, or they meet a violent end — choose your own adventure. Shout out to the very few who have given away their fortunes in their lifetimes.

      It might as well be infinite money right now. All of these billionaires have more money than they can spend in their lifetimes.
