I remember a time when being a billionaire is seen as too much, and now we have a trillionaire.

I know that I can't take no more
It ain't no lie
I wanna see you out that door
Baby, Tri, Bi, bye (Bye, bye)

Billionnaires too. They're not off the hook.

86 the trillionaire(s)

Doesn't deserve to exist. Will burn.

We now can say " the difference between a trillion dollars and a billion dollars is a trillion dollars." So we got that going for us, which is nice

US need Luigi's menthod as a guideline for the nation

It's a sign of a failed system, but even billionaires are too much. No one individual/family should have that much wealth or power. The first billionaire was just over 100 years ago, and look at us today. The point is, once someone has that amount of wealth, reality bends around them making them powerful enough to protect themselves. They then influence the state which is not there to represent them, but us. All serious nations must consider a 100% wealth tax on anyone with over 10 million in net worth. Capitalism has made it a long time, sure. And one could argue life at the bottom is marginally better than feudalism or whatever, sure. But obviously we're at the end of the experiment and need a reset.

A society that is in desperate need of a revolution 99% tax rates for extreme wealth

You wanna make a mess, make it in your neighborhood. I want the problem solved today by bank transfer

And yes we're all aware at this point that stock value isn't real money. That almost makes it even worse. As a society we're more concerned with fake numbers on screens than we are with people in our communities.

Come now, there's just one trillionaire.

Not yet. A revolution takes place once it's safer for the average person to join the revolution than to keep the status quo.

That's how far the status quo needs to drop before a revolution happens.

back in my day we used to say this about humble billionares

3 trillion is so much money that you could be visited by 1200 ghosts of Christmas past EACH SECOND since the Triassic period and still be bound by the chains you forged in life

RA2 cnc had a parody of the gates, where he was a trillionaire, instead its musk now.

I really hope the revolution comes before we have to update this meme to quadrillionaire.

Money has never been more fake. But it will be more fake tomorrow than it was today.

Violent revolution.

His companies have been valued at $X billion/million each. That doesn't mean he (or any of the "richest people") actually has that much wealth. It means that he has gamed the system of company valuation. He needs that for his fragile ego.

Of course they're all still wayyyyy too rich, but -

Fuck that "trillionaire" shit. Every time this is mentioned, Musk's ego is stroked. And I feel dirty just writing that last sentence. Eww.

While I agree with the sentiment of this post, homelessness was one of the best things that ever happened to me. Certainly, people suffer unimaginable things, even to me as I only saw a slice of homelessness over four years in four cities. But, there are many people who benefit from homelessness and actively enjoy it. For me, it cured me of my entitlement and made me a better person that I otherwise could not have done. My purpose to making this comment is to remind people that homeless people are human beings. They're not stray dogs. They have as rich of a story as you, and perhaps even a better one. Don't JUST be kind. Be empathetic and try to understand the people this meme casts in a single light
