    Imagine life was a game. You lived for 2025 years. You worked 260 days / year. You made the median US salary.

    You would need to relive that process 3,145 times to match an Oligarch.

    That amount of wealth is unethical while humanity suffers. No one can really fathom “1b dollars.”

    Just remember, there’s no such thing as infinite growth. These people are just getting better at extracting wealth from us.

    And not only do they not use any of their money to improve the world, they actually actively use it to buy up every media platform, prop up right wingers and make as many people suffer as possible. More than they already suffer that is, thanks to a system that allows these pieces of shit to amass enough wealth to last multiple lifetimes while others have to work two jobs and still not earn enough to live without hardship.

    It’s always jarring to me just how ugly the “superwealthy” are. It’s like their blatant greed and disregard for others can’t be hidden however hard they might try.

    What a monster of a face she has. Sheesh. Faces reflect the person underneath.

    thiel not being one of them, how strange, im guessing because he doesnt control a social media platform, he might known this as he wouldve gotten more flak if he had owned one.
