How? Money doesn't magically just appear. That money comes from somewhere. Every dollar Wayne receives is profit, profit that could go instead to lowering costs for Wayne Enterprises customers. Given that Wayne Enterprises is a huge conglomerate that seems to have its fingers in everything, he's probably literally taking money from the pockets of Gotham residents and putting it into his own bank account.
Because he's doing small individual things for individual people when he's simultaneously making the world a worse place by vacuuming up absurd amounts of profit from all the Wayne Enterprises customers.
It's like a chemical company that's poisoning a river, sickening millions, while simultaneously offering a scholarship to one kid, and getting all the good press that scholarship can offer.
Yes, individual orphanages, costing what, a few million to build? Meanwhile, Wayne Enterprises is generating massive profits that bring in billions of dollars. His vast enterprise is probably creating the orphans in the first place.
He's certainly taking advantage of the world, and yeah, he does some individual small-scale good, but it doesn't outweigh the large scale evil that Wayne Enterprises does.
It doesn't just work like that. Getting richer is a decision. Instead of taking massive profits from his worldwide enterprises, he could reduce prices and run his companies at break even. But, he prefers to get insanely rich off the backs of all the Wayne Enterprises customers.
No it isn't, getting rich is a decision. Especially true when you're the poweful head of a company where it would be the simplest possible thing to just lower prices.
And Wayne loves the system because it allows him to get fabulously wealthy while pretending that he's doing good.
Gee, if only there were a way to not be rich. I guess a genius like Bruce Wayne can't figure out how to not be rich, so it's not possible, so he's cursed to just be fabulously rich.
Basically, the only reason he's rich is that he chooses to have Wayne Enterprises make a profit. There are a lot of ways that he could either choose to not have Wayne Enterprises make a profit, or could choose to give away all his Wayne Enterprises stock.
You know, I've spent a good chunk of my morning dumpster diving for food. I don't have the energy for any of this but I still did it anyway because why not have a discussion. I'm not some rich simp, I absolutely hate them considering I have to dig through the trash to find something to eat today. Hopefully. But seeing you just straight up ignore giant chunks of my comment because you either cannot explain it away or just because it challenges your narrative makes me walking away from this comment and going to take a nap a whole lot easier.
Have a good day.
Yep, bail out of a discussion when your points are being wrecked and blame it on the other person. Stay classy.
Yep. Points being wrecked. Uh huh.
Alright. I'm out. Have fun, Republican.
Hahaha, ok. You're the guy defending the billionare, but I'm the Republican. Good one.
are you like one of batman's new villains this whole thread is absurd 😂
Batman has you hooked on his propaganda, he's the villain.
