If you made 7000 dollars every hour since Jesus was born, you would still not have as much money as Jeff Bezos.
It makes me think of hoarders. It just happens to be the case that money is universally sought-after, and so we think “it make money, is good!” But it’s not much different from someone with stacks of ancient newspapers filling 98% of their living space. It’s not like Jeff could actually spend all of that money even if he wanted to. He has more than he could ever need to live the most lavish and privileged of lifestyles, including giving the same to several generations of his offspring. He could still go to space and do all that crazy shit with 10% of what he has in his bank account. It can’t be normal.
Bezos makes ~$2,500 every SECOND. His big idea? Get a bunch of funding to heavily undercut local bookstores and operate at a loss while destroying local businesses such that he could take over as a near monopoly. And it’s highly doubtful that it was his idea, but it worked because when you’re willing to cheat against those not willing to do the same you’re gunna win.
Best part is Amazon can’t even manage to shop books without destroying them at this point.
Off with his head
Hahaha can’t even show up to protest. Who would build the guillotine?
548 years to a billion dollars at 5k per day. Saved you a calculator.
Thank you, now try telling this to my debt collectors

Maybe but there are also lots of people with mental illness who manage it and are still decent people. Not every sociopath is a serial killer but every billionaire is fucking evil. The decision to acquire great wealth at other’s expense and use it only for yourself is something else.
Bezos does not make a billion dollars in a week, unless you count certain short term gains based on random variation of the stock market, in which case he also loses a billion dollars in some weeks.
So how much does he profit off of amazon every week?
That poor man. How does he cope?
ikr. I’d just die of embarrassment if i made less than $150B in a few years.
Over the last 6 years he’s gained ~150B. That puts it at 410M per week on average over that time period.
You need 548 years
Conservative logic: Giving poor people a small amount of money will cause them not to work, whereas passing laws that benefit billionaires will cause them to create jobs.
Ehh I think we are forgetting about compounding interest.

that’s true, but still think about how long it would still take.
Yea, it would take a long time.

Yea, I guess we need to watch that new Netflix show about the billionaire killing serial killer to get better analogies 🤷♂️

Whenever a capitalist says he got wealthy through hard labor ask him whose.
But you’d probably be getting compound interest.
