The existence of billionaires is problematic, and it’s reasonable to wonder if our society should allow them to exist at all. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is reportedly spending $500 million on a yacht that’s so big it needs its own support yacht, and that’s both obscene and disgusting. It’s a incredibly powerful argument for stronger wealth redistribution.

However, Bezos has also spent his money to build a space program. Now, he’s going to use it send himself to space, along with his brother. If we’re going to have billionaires, that’s how you do it.
