but not in this world

That is until people take measures into their own hands

Most people on earth will never see $100,000 a year, and almost all Americans will never see $200,000 a year.

Even making $1,000,000 a year is fucking incredible and life-changing and lets you go anywhere and do almost anything you want.

Anything over that is just dick measuring money.

They are making $25,000,000 PER DAY.

A million dollars is chump change to them.

More money than we’ll ever see in our lives is chump change to them.

Currency is just quantified social power.

If someone has essentially infinite social power compared to everyone around them, there is no world in which their interests don’t directly and explicitly involve (at the very least) keeping that power.

Libertarians and neoliberals unironically believe that "a rising tide lifts all boats"

My coworkers do. Somehow the reason things suck is because of immigrants. Despite being immigrants. It's the lazy people who don't work as hard as them. Mathematically removed if you look at how things work. Not to mention that all these systems are artificial ... why shouldn't we build a system that benefits everyone instead of the few?

I agree entirely. The rich don't "make" any money. They siphon it from the poor.

This is whats called a breakdown... if their yearly income is X, then you can find out what their hourly and daily incomes are through rather basic math.

Umm, what? That's exactly how it works.

That's not what you were told, sure. Maybe time to shed some of that naivete, though.

I'm sure explaining the shell game the rich play is really comforting and helpful for the starving masses. /s

I get it, you have no concept of economics and refuse to learn.

That’s just not how wealth works.

Would you expand on that, in the context of previous replies that point out that this is meant as a simplified analogy of the value of one's own time?

How does wealth work? This is not a loaded question.

it's a good approximate. the reason their wealth score increases is because there is more wealth in the world being generated to go around. Disproportionately, it's landing on their already obscene pile, instead of being fairly distributed. And fairly doesn't necessarily mean everyone gets the same, but everyone actually profits from it.

That's a somewhat misleading summary

While Walton inherited a 1.9% stake in Walmart following her husband's 2005 death, according to Forbes, a spokesperson for Walmart told Snopes via email that Walton has no involvement in the business.

All those 'protests' are coordinated by the oligarchy as pressure release values because they know the public is at a tipping point for rejecting both right wing parties and their policies, preventing organic protests from rising and creating a threat to their existence. They allow voters to blow some steam while giving the illusion they are participating in democracy.
