god? According to the story he's the owner/operator of the entire universe - chief cook & bottle washer as they say. That said the book mentions something about a dispute over the mineral rights on earth, but that could be a sub plot to create extra conflict or something.
Here's the actual Forbes list: https://www.forbes.com/special-report/2013/fictional-15/scrooge-mcduck.html. Still not seeing any citations. Smaug's mountain seems bigger than Scrooge's swimming pool, but maybe there's a bad exchange rate.
Smaug could have all the gold in Arda and he still couldn't buy a decent flatscreen TV, so how rich is he really?
If only there was some sort of clue... https://www.forbes.com/special-report/2013/fictional-15/scrooge-mcduck.html
I am sure, all those blue lives matter people swearing and kicking their trucks because they are out of gas would be a laugh a minute.
No, you meant folk getting shot or having the shit kicked out of them. Hilarious. If you're a fucking psychopath.
the criminals wouldn't get shot but they would indeed be physically detained until the cops arrived, which would take however long for them to get their pants on and out of bed. But certainly none of the neighbors would "look the other way" and let somebody get away with stealing gas like that. You enable a thief in your neighborhood then you might be the next victim - fuck that!
until you become rich. It's like some of wordforge wanting to "stick it to the man" by default not realizing or caring that they are "the man" compared to people less fortunate or powerful. Jealousy is a helluva drug!
Assholes think like that. I'm well aware I earn more than a lot of folk, and am happy to be taxed more because of that.
That's my attitude as well. I make a shitload, so I should pay a shitload in taxes. Granted it would be nice to choose where my tax money is spent, but don't we all agree with that?
