Bezos next
Musk still has a $122B lead on Bezos, and made $104B of it in the last 32 days.
I just have to say, we shouldn’t even be targeting musk with this; we need to be going after his family.
Once musk is out of the picture, they’re just going to inherit the wealth and continue to use it to gain more wealth as quickly as they think possible.
Keep in mind, as it stands right now, his kids expect our kids to serve them.
He has a $122 BILLION lead, and he’s earned $133 BILLION over the past year.
His wealth has increased by 50% over the past year alone
But Bezos literally controls THE ENTIRETY OF ONLINE COMMERCE and destroys companies and small businesses with a simple mouse click.
Literally DESTROYS COMMERCE with a simple mouse click.
He is the Ultimate Evil Capitalist; the JD Rockefeller of our generation.
Part of the problem is that other sites are just soooo shit when it comes to online shopping. I hate Amazon and Bezos, but they are dominating 1. Because they are a monopoly, but 2. Because they simply are better at everything.
From customer service, to app, to search, to tracking and returns, no-one else comes close.
It sucks, but it’s the truth.
Because his security goons reading this too lol
It is cute how rich waste all this money to check social media for threat actors while we are just posting and commenting from our moms basements
Real men like the Adjuster just get the job done without providing signals for pinkertons to scarpe.
The parasite classes should note that when they get deposed, we didn’t see nothing.
It has to be fucking taken by force, and I dont wanna hear any of your goddamn neoliberal whining about it. It’s not “the world’s billionaires”; it’s “world billionaires propped up by US monetary policy”. It has to stop. Bezos, btw, literally destroys companies and competition with a simple mouse click. He single-handedly controls the entirety of online commerce. One guy. Controlling EVERYTHING.
Some of them literally have their money in Euros and European companies, which the US does not control. I’m not going to whine if you wanna revolution, that’s understandable, but be factual on the way.
Dude, I think that sentiment is shared among all the political spectrum. What happens after is what we tend to debate. I love communism in a vacuum, but many just see it as changing one corruptible system for another.
I’m sorry that I whine about not killing people.
As someone that has taken beating after beating I’m not down with violence except the verbal type. But worry not they take crazy-ies like me out to fields, make us dig our own graves, and then shoot us into them.
So maybe I have a different view of “violence for change” than you do.
For what benefit?
Increasingly not even for their own benefit. They are like a parasite that is killing it’s host and therefore it’s means of subsistence
That’s what always gets me. You can’t spend a billion dollars on yourself - you could live in the highest possible luxury, waited on hand and foot by the best, and you’re barely going to eat up half of it in a lifetime - even if your money earned no interest
They’re not even happy. They’re hated by many, idolized by others, and the rest want to leech off them. They don’t even have good relationships among their peers, it’s like a never ending dick measuring contest
None, that’s the funny part. You could almost call it a flaw with humanity as a whole.
We can’t focus on any sort of task-at-hand for any greater good. We simply are just that self centered and greedy, despite those of us that fight against that nature, it’s still our nature.
Climate change? You can’t make people wear masks in grocery stores.
Two options, if you’re shilling for billionaires:
They’re intrinsically 10,000x better than you and me and deserve to be 10,000x richer.
It’s just theirs. It says so somewhere, no backsies.
Pure trickle-down had it’s day too, but it’s it’s a joke again in modern times, for the most part. You may object that these are all weak arguments, but basically, you and what army?
Edit: “We need a remote chance of becoming a billionaire for anyone to go to work” is kind of a blend of trickle-down and argument number one, but I suppose I should mention it, just for the sake of completeness
I guess even as a billionaire, the difference between your first 50 billion and your second 50 billion is that with your second you can make frivolous purchases of social media companies without going back to being poor.
It’s still bullshit in the big picture of history.
Yeah, it’s a continuous scale, which is something people miss sometimes. When you talk to people with millions of dollars they have a tendency to say they’re not that rich, and point to some guy they know with tens of millions. They’re not wrong per se even if they’re dangerously out of touch; that extra digit changes a lot.
The bullshit is just that that scale goes way, way too high, as well as way too low. Human ability is normally distributed, and human worth is often held to be inalienably equal. Wealth follows a completely different distribution, for reasons.
I mean, my wealth has more than doubled over the past decade. The stock market has been going absolutely bananas, and my retirement accounts have done well.
The system is working as intended.
They’ll double next decade too, don’t worry. We humans aren’t really good at this planetary dominion shit. We’ve only really been at it for 200 years or so and we’re already fucking up.
