A few years ago, Amazon chairman Jeff Bezos revealed how he thinks of local PC hardware as antiquated, ready to be replaced by cloud options from companies like AWS and Azure.

Bucha Bull to me.

    They have OCD that manifests as economic hoarding. They are mentally ill, and are damaging society worse than any mass shooter. They need to be separated from society, forced to undergo mental health treatment, and their fortunes confiscated.

      forced to undergo mental health treatment

      Greed is not a mental health issue, is a character flaw

      and their fortunes confiscated

      100% agreed

        It is a mental health problem when it is simply the way their hoarding disorder presents. Some people hoard cats, or old cars, or random junk, but these people hoard money.

        What else could you call it when they accumulate so much money that neither they nor the next 100 generations of their heirs could ever spend it? If someone had so many cats that she had enough cats for generations of her family, you’d get her help, and remove the cats from her custody, and distribute them to people who would give them good homes.

        That’s what we need to do with these mentally ill money hoarders.
