Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

    Calling it financial obesity makes it sound like a good thing. These are superfluous parasites.

    Any reality where financial obesity can me interpreted as a positive or desirable notion must conjure other fascinating paradoxes, please tell us more…

    Who’s us? Obesity just conjures up images of fat people. Normal decent folks. So if you’re talking about “financial obesity”, you’re just describing normal decent people, not superfluous parasites.

    Obesity is a term which explicitly defines an entity which has accumulated an excess of resources, to the point of causing damage to itself and the environment it inhabits.

    If obesity conjures representations of normality for you, that’s a function of the gravitational distortion inherent from your current perspective.

    Finally, I invoke this notion as literally a medically morbidly obese middle aged white guy, but I’d easily pass for a medium as a Seppo.

    Calling that financial obesity is so weird.

    I love it. They have more than they'll ever need but can't help but continue to gorge themselves. Half of them probably miss out on sleep or family or other healthy activities in their pursuit of more wealth. Financial obesity is a fantastic term that paints a very accurate picture.
