That’s actually all… I’ll leave it up to you to speculate on the cure…

    Affluenza seems to be the more common term, but either way I don’t think the officials take proposals on Lemmy. You can submit it here for the DSM (US) or here for the ICD (Europe, UK, and a few others) though

      A disgusting excuse for class justice.
      At least a vulgar killer pleading insanity uses a real disease to get out of jail.
      If we accept it as a real disease then the only cure should be the one used by Dr. Joseph-Ignace Guillotin.
      100% success rate, no complaints

        I do kind of feel there’s a psychological component to it. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was comorbid with pedophelia.

        It takes a certain type of person to become a billionaire…there needs to be a severe and untreated antisocial personality disorder underneath all of it. If you’ve got that, add in a bit of opportunity (usually just being born rich) and a bunch of enablers and baby, you got a billionaire.

        Once you get to billionaire level, it’s just a cyclical disease. The privilege and recognition and power that just comes along with hitting Billionaire status in the first place is enough to continue to feed it more and more.

        There is no cure…you can only treat the symptoms by donating all assets and earthly possessions. Then cognitive therapy can begin.
