Guy: And I wish for all world poverty to be eradicated by the year 2050
Genie: Done
Guy: Seriously? Everyone will have enough? In 25 years?
Genie: In 25 years, every living human will have as much as they desire. All their needs will be met; they will want for nothing.
Guy: Why did you say it like that?
Guy: Wait hold up why did you say it like that?
That’s a very short horror story.
Here’s my prediction: the billionnaires and trillionnaires will have their heads on a spike within 30 years - but not before they’ve utterly fucked up the rest of society on their insane quest to approach infinite inequality levels.
FUBAR. Sigh. This sucks.
Why are we resigned to there being a trillionaire in the future when it hasn’t happened yet? There is time to stop it from happening. We can just kill them.
We’re all to afraid and too fat to actually eat the rich and guillotine 'em. As long as we have social media to get out frustrations out, Colts football games to watch and Baja Blast to drink we aren’t gonna do a goddamn thing.
I would hope the rising inequality after the pandemic would push people to care more but that’s probably expecting too much.
It is. People are still buying shit they don’t need at increasingly higher prices while simultaneously complaining online about it. And these corporations are just eating it up.
I had a person recently tell me I should buy whatever I want whenever I want like them because “money isn’t real, and you should be happy now” I think it just pushed people into terrified little monsters desperately trying to get as much as they can as quickly as they can with none of us able to see past a week from now.
Everyone cares a lot, and yet not at all anymore. If everyone thinks everyone else isn’t living enough I don’t see any joint effort happening ever. We will just dwindle our numbers as everyone gets theirs until they don’t.
Optimistic that poverty will end
Poverty is a feature of capitalism, you can’t end poverty without ending capitalism.
I bet we end capitalism before 229 years… Because if we don’t, we’ll end humanity.
poverty won’t be eradicated for another 229 years
could be much sooner if we eradicate billionaires and would be trillionaires… ¯\(ツ)/¯
Because nobody with the ability is seriously trying to eradicate poverty. People are trying hard to become a trillionaire.
Time for another game of…
CORRELATION!!!
OR!!!
CAUSATION!!!
(it’s causation)
Better be the first head on a pike
Bold to imagine Capitalism can last another 229 years without either destroying the planet or collapsing.
The world’s first trillionaire better live on that yacht off the grid. Pretty sure they’re going to be the first to get the guillotine.
If that yacht isn’t sunk by orcas, and if it isn’t an actual submarine, it’ll be some kind of orbiting satellite. But wherever they are, bunkers can only last so long before more supplies are needed.
Surely the trillionaire could fix it.

Does ending poverty just mean finally having nobody who doesn’t produce a product for capitalism to sell and get paid in Ameri-bucks for? Cause I don’t see see how adding more trillionaires would do anything to help poverty and just exasperate it.
