Now is a good time to flood Wikipedia with donations. For the first time in my life, i have just donated to them and will do so again. You can do it too for a minimum of €2, no requirement for recurring donations or any nonsense.

Indicator 9,876,872,820,111 that that fucker has more money than anyone should ever have.

There's not one single person in the world who should own a thousand million dollars, never mind hundreds of thousands of millions of dollars.

The pure existence of billionaires is unethical and immoral - doesn't matter whether they're being stupid and fascist in public, or quietly pulling strings and bending society to their will in the background.

Tangential, but I've always wondered why in English 10^9 is one billion. 10^6 is one million. Twice as many zeroes should be one billion. Three times as many, one trillion, etc.

[–] DeltaTangoLima@reddrefuge.com 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

From memory, when I was a kid, it used to be that a billion was 10^12, but I think most of the world changed at some point to adopt the American billion of 10^9.

Edit: wiki article that discuss a little of this

As a kid I was taught numbers like so.

Once you had X amount of X, then it became the next one. 10 ten = 100, 100 hundred = 1000 1000 thousand = 1 million, 1 million million = billion. And so on.

[–] Buck@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

100 hundred is 10,000

[–] DeltaTangoLima@reddrefuge.com 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep - same here. Australia, early 80s. You?

But I want to quietly pull the strings of society so everyone can have food and housing security, get rid of food deserts, and end Elon Musk personally. Like, with my hands. Give me a billion dollars

[–] TopRamenBinLaden@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I don't think you'd be a billionaire for long. I'd have that problem too. How can you just sit on a huge pile of money when you could do so much good with it? They are all like stinky dragons hoarding their gold.

Nah the billion dollars is a get out of jail free card.

Oh wait you were talking about the stuff I wasn't being facetious about.

[–] set_secret@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

why do we allow this to happen?

[–] macrocephalic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because too many people think that one day they'll be rich and get to take advantage of poor people like themselves.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Who is "we"?

What have you done to prevent it?

[–] set_secret@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I know this is trolling but fwie, 'we' is the community that we're all part of.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

More that it's a confirmation that having money doesn't make you a good person.
