1158 || ban the billionaires

You cannot earn a billion dollars. You can take a billion dollars, but you can't make it. Every billionaire has built their "empire" off of the exploitation of laborers.


UNFUN FACTS:

  1. Jeff Bezos could give every single one of his 876,000 employees a $105,000 bonus and he’d still be as rich as he was at the start of the pandemic.
  2. The median U.S. salary is $34,612, but even if you tripled that and saved every penny for a lifetime, you still wouldn’t accumulate anywhere close to a billion dollars.
  3. Jeff Bezos makes $149,353.12 EVERY SINGLE MINUTE.
  4. Every 14 minutes, Elon Musk earns as much as an average american earns in their entire lifetime.
  5. Full time employees at Walmart + Amazon are the biggest utilizers of federal food programs like SNAP and Welfare. While the CEO's make more money than is possible to spend in a lifetime.


Something's gotta give.
