    It would be neat if there was a site that doxxed ultra wealthy individuals so the one’s unhinged enough to kill could plan out a hit, unfortunately it wouldn’t be feasible due to individuals who aren’t in that category being exposed too and targeted.

    Finding their addresses wouldn't be that hard I bet.

    Edit: I just found out the CEO of the company I work for has a net worth of over a couple of billions of dollars... And this year I got a sub 2% raise. Fuck him.

    That’s because they spend 1984 hours each day working really hard

    (248 * 8 is actually 1984 unless my calculator is memeing on me)

    Things driven by the same processes moving in the same direction as they do elsewhere those processes drive things. 🫠

    Average worker wage is actually not a great metric for comparisons like this. It's better to use median wage because the ultra-rich skew the average higher. So basically the income inequality is likely much worse.

    that's bad if you compare with common sense, but not as bad if you compare with the usa
