#2Anyone who says something like "fuck the billionaires because they spend money on space instead of fixing our problems on earth" has instantly lost their respect in my eyes. It's an opinion that betrays laziness, jealousy, and a lack of understanding about how the world works. Anecdotally I have never met an engineer with these opinions, you usually see them in the activist types, the types that are likely to go vote for Bernie.

I'm curious, would you care to explain why you think that?

On the flip side, anecdotally, all the engineers I know carry at least some level of anti-billionaire sentiment, and in my observable circles the defenders of ultra-richness are typically those whose understanding of the world doesn't stand up to scrutiny, and are also those who aren't involved in building, creating, or adding value to the world. To some extent, we are all victims of our own bubbles.
