Why is this in shitpost it’s true
I wasn't sure where to put it. Wanted to put it in memes, but didn't relish the inevitable "it's not a meme" comments, so this seemed like the best fit.
It's NOT my OC and I encourage you to crosspost as you wish. 🙂
Kinda. Billionaires don't usually have a checking account with a few billion in it because they took it from a company's profit instead of giving it to payroll.
Their net worth is largely in non-liquid assets like stocks and real estate.
Man I am so sick of people explaining this as if people don’t understand the concept of wealth as oppose to liquid assets. The argument still stands and it just serves to derail the point of whether billionaires should exist or not, and usually it’s used for tax evasion purposes and is entirely moot to the point anyway.
The day they can't leverage their stock to get infinite loans will be the day that this isn't a lie.
Otherwise, it's a bullshit argument.
This tired response needs that "brain, big brain, super brain" three part meme.
Something like "billionaires have most of their net worth tied up into non-liquid assets -> those non-liquid assets attained their high value due to workers being underpaid by exploitative employers -> billionaires are the exploitative employers"
😂
Hey now, that's not fair!
The owners don't "earn" shit.
They lay down their chips from their last trip to the exploitation casino, and take.
Leeches that don't do shit.
I don't think most people begrudge owners a reasonable profit, especially if they're running things and taking an active role in the business and pay their workers well. It's not unreasonable to have some cash squirrelled away for the business having hard times either.
For me the issue is megacorps who exploit workers shaving working conditions and benefits until it's bare bones, expecting more work from fewer people at higher quality, paying the bare minimum after being lucky enough to be the first to market with some idea so they're in a completely dominant position and making billions.
What would happen if each of us get 500 of these printed as flyers and post them all over our cities?

What’s the maximum amount of money a person can actually earn in their life?
Isnt this a contradiction?
They earned a billion USD by underpaying you, but they still earned the money
I think this post is missing a "fairly" or something similar
It depends on how much gravity you put into the word "earned".
Then negotiate. Stop fingerpointing.
Is this a shitpost community or another ihatemoresuccessfulpeople lunatics group?
My man, what are you doing. We all dislike billionaires because the amount of money is not feasible to earn via honest wage work(<500k a year) in your lifetime.
They ain't successful, they cheat. (In a usually permitted form)
I could spend an hour writing a long winded explanation of why capitalists "earn" their wealth through wage theft... but Comrade Hakim already made a video that explains this concept pretty well so here.
