Found the POV from whatever is happening in the background.

My initial read of this was, “tornadoes and potatoes” and I prefer that read now.

So… draw out your response and either say “Actually, Hitler was also a moron.” or “You’re right, Hitler was way smarter.” Otherwise you’re responding to something I didn’t say.

Hitler was Einstein compared to anyone in the U.S. admin right now. I mean, fuck Hitler, but he wasn’t a dumbass.

My initial reaction was it’s not true at my local Mexican tavern, but then I remembered Crackerbarrel is almost always on the left and I don’t think it can get more white than a barrel full of crackers.

American here. Please, EU, for the world’s sake, make him fold like a flip phone!

Reminds me of the post from the cat owner who hear a noise and first reaction was, “I’m going to shove my finger so far up your little asshole!” because they thought their cat was up to mischief again only to later realize they unintentionally scarred a burglar for life.

So, if we add information it makes sense, but only then? Which is my point, it’s disingenuous. The people making $5K a year back in 1492 are the ones who passed their wealth on to the 0.001% today. Making $5K per day is just more money, and my point still stands.

As long as they’re as radical the second time around, I’m game.

If you are still asking what my point is after my two comments, I think we’re done here.

Yes. Your math is correct. My point was never “billionaires good”, but rather the meme is disingenuous. But I guess any time anyone says anything other than “billionaires bad” they get downvoted.

I get the point. I’ve even posted about how absurd a billion dollars is. But, here’s the problem with the post’s absurdism: $5,000 a day since 1492 would be well over a billion dollars today, assuming things like investing, real-estate, and inflation still exist. Given that, for reference, $5K / year was uber rich around the victorian era, you’d definitely be a multi-billionaire if you’ve had access to that kind of money since 1492.

That’s the dream. Currently debating what to do with a spare laptop and “make it a server” sounds ideal.

I still burn CDs. This whole streaming thing won’t last. Also, my back hurts…

confused Mike Myers noises

Darn, mine only looked like Morrowind. Guess I’ll get my casket ready…

As the current popular phrase goes, the difference between a million and a billion is about a billion.

Wait 'til they “discover” symphonies.

Also vitamin AA, AAA, and AAAA.

I give it about 24 months. He’ll get comfortable and make some stupid decision that ruins the money of some rich group and they’ll oust him. It sucks for everyone, but they’re too dumb not to eat themselves.
