I'd argue that no single person should have that much power and wealth in this country. Why is it okay that Zuckerberg has absolute power over one of the most influential companies in the world? How does that benefit society as a whole?

Because that's the company he founded and owns. It wasn't one of the most influential companies in the world upon being founded, it became so with Zuck at the helm.

How does this have anything to do with anything? And how do you propose we measure it?


I'm not asking if it's legal, I'm asking why this system is what is best for society. Is having billionaires controlling our country a good thing?


I haven't mentioned a single thing about legality in my reply, and neither was it intended to imply anything about legality.


You stated that it's because it's the company he founded and owns, which is the legal reason.
