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

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.

You do realize that the inherent logic of capitalism, namely capital accumulation will always lead to this outcome. So no, if your system has some millionaires, it doesn't work, it's just at an earlier stage in the process.

that is insane
enough wealth for your own first world, large, industrialized country

fixed

 

[Turbulent]

This is a dope presentation

It really is mind-blowing that by just hoeing 400 people, we could considerably change the world for the better. 7 billion humans getting styled on by 400 dudes is crazy as fukk

The game is the game...

All of you anti folks making as much money as they could need to go live in Bolivia or some shyt

i think the human race will forever swing between capitalism and communism going too far either way will always cause unrest and revolutions even if it takes centuries.

We're in the end times. This thing doesn't have much longer, but there will be fireworks

That money wont save his life. And its coming. Wont be long. Wont be long.

Bill Gates out here desperate right now to make his life last longer... Trying to kill off other people to do it. That's how you know it's evil.

Any wealthy person will tell you the most valuable asset on the entire planet is time. It’s the only asset you can never truly get back or grow exponentially. You can turn $10 into $100, you can’t turn 5 minutes into another 5 minutes.


If Bezos could make a deal with a genie to exchange half of his wealth (90B) for just an extra 5 years on his life, I guarantee he’d do it.

The median turnover at Google is only 3 months higher at 1.1 years and they're known for having some of the best working conditions of any company in the US...

You're comparing apples and oranges. People generally leave Google because the tech sector is so competitive and short on talent that headhunters are constantly offering them even better salaries to go somewhere else. Amazon workers ain't in demand like that, they leave cause they hate the work.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Nobody needs 30k to survive either. But life isn’t just about “surviving”. Some people want to thrive, some want to dominate. Bezos isn’t breaking any rules here.

He's not breaking any rules because rich people like him literally wrote the rules.

@Wild self look how many people are ok with this

The problem is anyone making that kind of money should do more. How do we have people going without food and he making money like that. Tax the shyt out of him and others making that guap. I'm all for capitalism but gotdamn, these mafukkaz greedy.

I agree with what you're saying, but Higher taxes never works, and it's a shame the media has convinced people that doing that is the solution

They should pay costs on the front end and give equity or some kind of subsidies to the 3rd world country they are extracting the resources from. Let the people of that country get the benefit of the high tech products that are created from it. That would help those countries and also decrease these large Corporation's overall profit

Raising taxes on the back end never works

drop in the bucket compared to the banking families that own the fed reserve and other banking institutions worldwide that lend to countries.

What banking family is $200 billion a drop in the bucket to?

Stop getting your information from baseless hot take internet sites with no sources breh.

Spotted a 2nd class citizen that's too p*ssy learn Capitalism and go against CACs

Ya'll are so easy to rile up emotionally

How would "learning capitalism" stop it from being an oppressive system where a few people dominate the majority? Even if a couple Black folk ended up on top they would still fukk over the other 90% of Black folk below them, the system literally can't work any other way.

Not to mention that "Capitalism" explicitly revolves around "capital", which they've systematically deprived Black folk of. You want to preach false bullshyt pretending the mass of people without shyt are going to rise up and dominate the mass of people with all the shyt by worshipping the exact system that the people with all the shyt created to ensure they kept that shyt for themselves.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

All of you anti folks making as much money as they could need to go live in Bolivia or some shyt

The average white family has 10x as much money as the average black family.

Capitalism is literally designed to ensure that people with money will continue getting richer at the expense of the people without money. Even if 1 in 100 poor folk eventually become rich, it's impossible for that to ever be anything more than an exception to the rule because the entire system is DESGINED to ensure that rich people make profits and poor people pay debts.

You're for a system that doesn't have a single possible outcome other than black folk continuing to be fukked over indefinitely.
