Consider this: a million seconds is 12 days. A billion seconds is 31 years. It really helps me understand just how obscenely wealthy these people are, how much money they are hoarding. They're leeches.
By that measure, $100,000 a year for 60 years is 70 days.
And since a billion seconds is 31 years, Musk is worth almost 7000 years.
There are people on this planet who could give up 90% of their wealth and still ensure a more than comfortable life for themselves and their family, for a dozen generations and more.
And yet they keep all of it.
Then you'll have the people defending them with the good old argument that no one should be expected to give up their hard-earned wealth.
Sure, except these twats „earned“ it through exploitation and misery. No one gets this filthy rich with honest and fair work, that's not how the game works.
