    What a monster of a face she has. Sheesh. Faces reflect the person underneath.

    Just remember, there’s no such thing as infinite growth. These people are just getting better at extracting wealth from us.

      The entire biosphere is being eaten alive. Humanity is a parasite.

        maybe. it might also be that most of the damage is the result of a few particular bad actors… arguably a large amount of the runaway environmental destruction we’ve witnessed is the accumulated result of a very small portion of the population being allowed to do whatever the fuck they want whenever the fuck they want for ~200 years?

        we could test this theory out, empirically. I propose an experiment where we, um, neutralize, the top 1% who directly facilitate eco-cide in pursuit of corporate profits and then we’ll see if nature improves.

    It’s always jarring to me just how ugly the “superwealthy” are. It’s like their blatant greed and disregard for others can’t be hidden however hard they might try.

    Imagine life was a game. You lived for 2025 years. You worked 260 days / year. You made the median US salary.

    You would need to relive that process 3,145 times to match an Oligarch.

    That amount of wealth is unethical while humanity suffers. No one can really fathom “1b dollars.”

      That movie In Time really goes to show you how much the 1% has, and how little the 99% has. It’s even worse now.

    Zuckerberg, looks like he has alopecia universalis, like Stan Sitwell from Arrested Development.
