    Because when that happens, we just find a new rich class, slightly below the ones we just ate. So they go too… now there is a newest rich class, just below the previous.

    And so on, until you’re the new rich class.

      In 2020, it took about 25 seconds for Bezos’ net worth to increase by the national annual median income - whether he was working, sleeping, shitting, fucking, or butt-chugging the tears of the employees he’s working to death.

      He eared all that for what? Owning shit and stealing the value of peoples’ work. That’s not a job, that’s not of value.

      We’re a looooooooooooong way from having to worry about eating regular people.

      Meanwhile, the Department of Housing and Urban Development estimates the cost of ending homelessness in the US is $20bn/year. We place more value on Bezos alone having a Scrooge McDuckian money pit than we do on ending homelessness for almost a decade.

      Fuck right off with your slippery slope bullshit.

      But isn’t that the whole point. The working class becomes the new rich class. That sounds like equal distribution of wealth.
