  • 1160 || the ethics of wealth

    Most nations are more intent on policing the poor than the rich, when the opposite would be more effective, lucrative, and important. Tax evasion is estimated to cost Austria about one thousand times more than welfare fraud.

  • 1158 || ban the billionaires

    You cannot earn a billion dollars. You can take a billion dollars, but you can't make it. Every billionaire has built their "empire" off of the exploitation of laborers.


    UNFUN FACTS:

    1. Jeff Bezos could give every single one of his 876,000 employees a $105,000 bonus and he’d still be as rich as he was at the start of the pandemic.
    2. The median U.S. salary is $34,612, but even if you tripled that and saved every penny for a lifetime, you still wouldn’t accumulate anywhere close to a billion dollars.
    3. Jeff Bezos makes $149,353.12 EVERY SINGLE MINUTE.
    4. Every 14 minutes, Elon Musk earns as much as an average american earns in their entire lifetime.
    5. Full time employees at Walmart + Amazon are the biggest utilizers of federal food programs like SNAP and Welfare. While the CEO's make more money than is possible to spend in a lifetime.


    Something's gotta give.

  • 1157 || post-scarcity society || patreon

    Utopia feels far away, post-scarcity feels less so.


    According to wikipedia: Post-scarcity is a theoretical economic situation in which most goods can be produced in great abundance with minimal human labor needed, so that they become available to all very cheaply or even freely.[1][2] Post-scarcity does not mean that scarcity has been eliminated for all goods and services but that all people can easily have their basic survival needs met along with some significant proportion of their desires for goods and services.[3] Writers on the topic often emphasize that some commodities will remain scarce in a post-scarcity society.

    I've been dealing with depression since I was 12 and the world hasn't gotten more "fun" but that doesn't mean I'm hopeless. I'm just reminded it's time to get busier but I can't do that in good conscious without addressing a few elephants that have been in the room.
