You wouldn’t even make the top ten richest people in the world list.

seconded.
I have a mousewheel which I can unlock for it to just spin freely. And that still took me way longer than expected.
I just wish I were the sort of person to advocate for violence, because I think it might be useful in dealing with this issue, but I’m not, so I won’t.
I would have told her that attractiveness can’t make up for a lack of personality, but that Ola guy ain’t wrong either.
By the time Harris or Trump finish out the next presidency you’ll be poorer and he’ll be making $10,000,00 an hour.
Still puzzles me why everybody’s still shopping at Amazon.
I’m addition to convenience Amazon has just killed off a lot of retail options. The only competitor left with brick and mortar is Walmart and somewhat best buy for electronics. Very hard to find those small specialty stores nowadays for little random things unless you live in a big metropolitan area. Even stores like Walmart now will have the same products by a million different brands instead of having an actual variety of products.
Convenience
Yeah, especially if you don’t have a car. Going across town to buy one little knick knack can be an all day affair, with 2 public transit fares included.
This may explain why Amazon is much more popular in North America than Europe: public transit. So if you want to stick it to Jeff, work for better public transit and more walkable cities!
Also a lot of areas in major cities don’t have large general shopping stores, like Target. It becomes an hour long trip and transfer while hauling whatever you’re buying.
Outside of cities, your choice is Walmart or 4 hours of driving to get to the next big town.
$124,111,680,000 if you’re curious (24x365x2024x7000).
$124,194,137,760 if you want to account for leap years (365.2425 days / year)

You tell that to his delivery drivers who can’t even scratch their nose while driving or that 1984-dystopia-esque automated surveillance system he puts in their vehicles flags it as “distracted driving” and punishes them.
Oh and they don’t even make enough to raise a family.
There is absolutely no amount of hard work that deserves that much money, absolutely none. You could run a marathon every single day for 50 years and I still wouldn’t say you deserved that much money.
4x times as much of what you need for a good life, in a day.
If you can live you life on 42000 I’d be impressed. I assume you mean 4x what you need yearly for a good life, daily? That’s more reasonable, but I think you’d still struggle at 42k a year these days.
I think they meant 2e6$
He doesnt make that in actual money tho. Rich people’s value are vibes based egregors summoned through the stock market. So, in a similar vein, if the stock market crashes and never recovers, he loses most of his money. This is why I propose ripping down Wallstreet to starve the machine.
He’d still have a lot of property to his name, a lot of other assets and stuff that aren’t tied to an arbitrary stock market. Even if you crash it, mansions and luxury cars would still be very valuable. He will never not be a billionaire due to that.
That is, unless you redistribute his wealth. Then yeah, he wouldn’t be filthy rich anymore.
well it’s worse than that becase most of those houses and other assets were bought for the most part from loans taken out at very low interest rates against the stock he has in his company’s and other shares in his portfolio . The stocks on whole give better return than that interest rate. So it’s free money they can spend an they don’t even have to sell their stock and pay taxes on the returns just the dividends at a way lower rate that any working person. the way this is setup it becomes impossible for him to spend money fast enough for him to actually lose more money than he gained.
Very true, but you have to be able to sell those assets to gain from them. If the stock market is erased you can’t sell your yacht to another exploiter because their networth is decimated too and they can no longer borrow off anything but physical assets, and now they also have a massive “income” stream that is now down so borrowing is more risky. We coulda had a bad bitch of a society, instead we let the rich turn us all into Mammon zombies.
And the vast amount of web storage customers
Love both of these, but going after the stock market is how you kick billionaires in the balls. Then you redistribute their assets to serve society instead of society serving their assets.
You do not talk about project mayhem
If you spent some of that time a little too close to a black hole you might have a chance though! Obviously you just wouldn’t be working hard enough!
I would simply invest a small amount of money into all of the fastest growing equities every day for the next 20 years. Alternatively, I’d just get the NSA to pay me $600M/year for access to some servers that cost me around $50M/year to operate.
I would like to think I would be able to catch up with that kind of income, my apparent immortality, and smart investing, compounding over so many centuries. I’m curious what all currencies and cultures I have had to endure and how the exchange rate of my income is worked it and what currency I will be operating under after the US dollar.
