    No this is fair, we can place a value on the bosses initial labour.

    once that loan is paid back they can, of course, fuck off.

      I want to know more about this magical tea cup making machine. One that doesn't require any labor to run

          Atlas, why don't you just do it yourself then? If it doesn't require that much work, why don't you just make all the teacups without purchasing others labor?

                I'm pretty sure billionaires would actually be less bad if they spent money instead of just hoarding it all

                Not ideologically, but in practice in our current system

                  Well yeah, right now they just pass it between each other. If they spent it all on labor, there wouldn't really be an issue as they wouldn't be billionaires anymore and would just be glorified planners.

                    Even if they just spent it all on random goods or services instead of shares, moving more money around would benefit the rest of us as I understand it.
