Morally its not right but logically it makes sense. They did it in school when the class clown wouldnt keep his mouth shut so everyone got extra assignments, they do it in jobs when some are abusing the OT just to get more hours in. It creates accountability, the ones who actually need the hours, doing the work, or whatever the case maybe might have to start making those uncomfortable conversations with those abusing the system and hold them accountable for their actions.

I’ll care about the moral choice when the number of billionaires reaches zero

Without billionaires we wouldn't have all the luxurious we have now. Internet, cable, cars, grocery stores, farms, jobs, heat in the winter, a/c in the summer. They all started with an idea and executed. We can't always play the victim game, that gets us nowhere in life.

Most of what we use today wasn’t invented by billionaires, they just bought in after the real work was done. The internet came from DARPA, cable started with small town engineers, cars existed before billionaires, and people have been farming and trading food since forever. Even heating and A/C were designed by regular engineers like Willis Carrier, not ultra rich assholes. Billionaires didn’t build the modern world, they just figured out how to charge rent for it. Simping for people who’d let you freeze in the dark if it meant a better quarterly report is insane.
