Ok so how does a cancer kill its host?

It grows until it consumes so many nutrients that the other living cells don’t get enough. The host literally starves even if he eats plentifully.

The same applies for the US: The billionaires are not only hoarding wealth, but by doing so they’re crippling the economy for workers and everybody besides themselves.

    Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

      Not a fan fat shaming that gets bundled in with that but basically. It’s the vice of greed, plain and simple.

      Like imagine rolling up to a potluck and just buying the table, leaving naught but a bag of chips for the rest of the party. Even if you can afford it, it’s still a crime against your fellows.
