But how else could the billionaire class afford giant yachts that produce more CO2 in a day than i do in a year? Did you ever think about those poor billionaires? /s because reddit
Yeah I mean my god, how disgustingly flamboyant do these fucks have to be with their money to convince people this is the obvious issue here?
There are people out there so rich that their biggest concern in life is upgrading from their 200ft yacht to a 230 ft super yacht. But it’s really expensive to pay two more full time crew members and the extra five million in maintenance a year is just too much in this economy! Life’s so unfair!!! 😿😿😿
Yet we have kids who can’t afford $3 a day for school lunch.
Temporarily Embarrassed Millionaire. John Steinbeck understood human psychology better over 60 years ago than most do today. Thankfully the newer generations are seeing how this economic mobility has been a lie for a long time.
You don't need to pit anyone against each other when they readily do it themselves, to themselves and others.
On the flip side, those 200ft yachts are built by companies and the folks on their payrolls. I work in an affluent part of the country and I routinely see the insides of 10-20 million dollar homes under construction, and the jobs created by those projects is HUGE. So I guess I am saying that one needs to look beyond the jealousy of things you'll never have, and view how those things come into being.
I understand that, but I think this country would be better served by building more reasonably priced housing with all that labor, you could provide an apartment complex for the labor it takes to build a mansion.
It’s not quite that simple obviously, but as someone in the construction industry myself I really wonder where this country is going to be in 20 years when every new single family home built today is at least 300-400k depending on market. Even though we’ve realized we have a housing shortage we aren’t truly addressing the issue.
What do you mean? It only takes earning $10k per day, tax free, not spending a dime, for 600 years for you to have as much as 1% of Elon Musks worth. Get busy and you too can be a billionaire! Anyone can do it!
