Say you’re on a yacht with your principal and they had a few tequilas, and then they’re like, “Oh, come on. Join us.” Ultimately, you have to remember that you are there because they’re paying you. It’s a job. They’re not your friend. Obviously, you need to share compassion and empathy. Sometimes your boss needs you to be a shoulder to cry on.

    Try convincing your average Westerner to give up a noticeable percentage of what they own to Africans, though.

    The difference here is how much of that is you actually need. The people in question have to waste it even though they use loopholes on loopholes to not pay their fair share in tax.

      Okay. Honestly I doubt the difference is that noticeable to someone in a slum who just wants some plain rice to stave off hunger. I don’t really see how it connects back to the larger discussion, either. Like I said, we all agree billionaires are bad.
