In and of itself, it doesn't matter at all which country someone lives in, as long as you're aware of the answer to the question I asked.

The answer is simply: the billionaires—even if you think you can undermine that reality with a counter-question (in Europe, where I live, there are certainly billionaires as well).

However, if—knowing all this—you don’t come to the same conclusion, I can’t understand why not.

That’s what my original question was about, and so far no one in this thread has answered it: How does society as a whole benefit from the existence of billionaires?

I know my answer to that.

Do you know yours, since you say it wouldn’t make any difference whether they exist or not....
