None of those ever existed to protect you.

Might be why they haven’t done it in a while.

That, or the numbers are simply growing faster than the creator can keep up, which is just as depressing…

Keep in mind that that is out of date, bezos is now worth $60b more at $239.4b, with musk topping him at $433.9b. The 400 richest Americans now hold $5.4 trillion (vs 3.2 in the pixel scroller).

Exactly

…and boiling them to death with their combined body heat.

I’m just going to leave this here

Profits by the Billion, A report on war prosperity

Blaschko’s lines

I think the most depressing thing about this is that it will actually come as a surprise to some, who will be feeling let down by their pet “good billionaire”.

I hope if nothing else this serves as a wake up call to them to the true and inevitable nature of billionaires, but I won’t hold my breath…

E: smfh, just seen that a mod of this very community (and every other community on beehaw it seems lol) is one of those people, and I was wrong, they don’t even feel let down, they just flat out refuse to acknowledge. What a joke.

I mean, seriously what in the living fuck.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg

Well, yeah, just like carbon footprints, household recycling, plastic straws, and so so many more of these eco-nonsense trends - distractions designed and spread by those actually destroying the planet for their own personal gain, to get us to crab in a bucket each other, instead of turn on them.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, but sadly people wouldn’t listen, they were (rightfully!) so desperate to get the tories out, they didn’t want to hear that the establishment had arranged for them to be voting another one straight in.

And they also don’t want to hear that this was entirely intentional, that it is a well established way of getting the blue tories back in and worse than ever next election, and that continuing to play this silly game of “vote for one of the two people we’ve approved for you to vote for” is ever going to benefit us as a society, but only the ones manipulating us in to keeping them in power.

And so the exact same cyclical shit will keep happening.

a country that only cares about billionaires and companies

So… Both countries involved?

Homelessness doesn’t exist because of a lack of housing.

Social mobility just works in both directions, and about as often.

Yeah, no, that’s a massive streaming pile of self soothing bullshit that isn’t convincing anyone but you.

Let’s say that you have an opportunity to gain billions to fix the society from the top.

Society can not, and never will be, fixed from the top.

Nor is money the solution to our problems, if anything, it is a huge part of the cause (and why communism aspires to a moneyless society, among other things).

So even if I say I’d only accept the money if I could instantly redistribute it, as long as other billionaires, and the systems that create and uphold them, exist, my personal actions would probably make little difference in the long run, and any money I shared would end up right back in their pockets (by virtue of how capitalism works).

Thanks for the heads up.

OP - my feedback is fix this.
