One of the most frustrating things youll see today: Jeff Bezos wealth visualized in pixels

[Scustin Bieburr]

Wealth, shown to scale

If you have some millionaires then your system works. If you have a billionaire then your system is sick. If you have a multibillionaire--and more than one, your system is dead.

Frustrating for who?

nobody is making folks order things from Amazon. People are lazy and/or don’t like human interaction. There isn’t a law saying you have to order from Amazon or you’ll be arrested. Be mad at the public.

what is wrong with selling a product/service and making a profit from the products you sell?

[Paper Boi]

I'm gonna inherit the family business, I just dont want nikkas complaining when they see me in that Bentley coupe in 20 years



nikkas be comparing capitalists to slave owners and shyt


If someone is getting up everyday and doing good business, I dont see the problem

 

[Amerikan Melanin]

That shyt is disgusting. I believe there should be a cap or like 10 billion and anything over that just goes back into the system. That would stop a lot of unnecessary greed and improve the world.

Bruh….

 

[Henri Christophe]

Bruh….

what?

I'm a capitalist. I support the street vendor on the side of the road selling food & I support the business man with a chain of stores.

My line of work is sales.

I literally eat what I kill.

There doesnt even need to be a cap. Return top marginal tax rates to where they were before Reagan got in and a whole bunch of domino’s fall. Go back 40 years before that and suddenly infrastructure can be paid for, colleges will have oodles of state funding, etc. It would be damn near like the post war boom so long as the pay actually went to the people in the form of more fleshed out tax bases and higher incomes.

Most of these folks wealth is in stock. The stock wasn’t always worth the amount that is driving his wealth up. How would you cap that, you can’t cap the stock price, you just gonna take his shares away? If the stock drops are you gonna give them back?
