Nah, the filthy rich are living it up. On our backs.
What’s sad is they have insane amounts of money and ZERO imagination. Instead they they rode dick rockets into space.
A hundred billion dollars is such a huge sum of money that no amount of imagination could ever spend it all. That’s partly why we need to destroy the system that let’s people accumulate that much stagnant wealth
Let’s be clear, billionaires don’t generally have billions of stagnant wealth, they have shares in giant companies worth billions. So technically the money is put to work keeping the companies going. They cannot legally sell all their shares at once. Not quite the same as billions in the bank, but the dividends alone generate more than any given dozen of us. Fuck em.
The defense budget for the US in 2024 is $842 billion. Surely someone is imagining a way to spend it all!
Background very much impacts how terrible life is.
