    ok so eat the rich but you can’t just put numbers from your personal receipts into a chart describing 2,000 years and assume it will make sense.

      Whats there not to understand here? If you make $400,000 per day since the year 1 up until modern day, you still would only have 87% of Bezos’ modern net worth.

        what is $400,000 in year one of this? you have that, you own the entire Levant?

        it’s actually impossible to argue against you for not “weighting for inflation” because money does kind of make sense back then, and now, because it’s more efficient than shuttling goats around as currency, or investing in shitcoins.

          $400k per WORKING DAY. If you did that for 2025 YEARS, you’d still be short.

          People don’t get how stupid this is in human terms. Sure, just rewards for effort, but this is insane. It makes no sense on a human scale. And these people have us so worried about everything that we can’t step back and comprehend.

          Now in touch form: https://eattherichtextformat.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/

          Look up for assholes; they’re above us and they keep shitting.

          I use Christtimes as a rallying call for people who call themselves Christian. Is this what Christ would want? Luke 18:25, Matthew 19:21, John 13:34-35.

          I’m sick of this country talking about Christ while this shit is happening. This isn’t Christian. It isn’t moral. I don’t pretend to know the answer: the problem is obvious if you think about it in human terms.

          ✌️ & 💜

            unfortunately I can’t respond on any bible quotes. i’m just saying, $400k is not a meaningful concept 2000k years ago. That was Antony and Cleopatra type ultra trash drama. Fantastic costumes, there’s always some child teetering inside the monstrous costume head.

      Run the numbers for yourself. I tried to make it easy. :/

      Do you think it’s fair a median US household should work 3125 * 2025 = 6,328,125 years of work to catch up to Jeff? I don’t.

        dear crypto bro or m’lady. fuck jeff. I am here from the future and I have immense wealth from assaulting Virtua Arcade Fighter 2 machines.

        Do I have a moral obligation to use my time machine to invest in AI from the past?

          Ah the basilisk.

          I like to imagine it’s evolved past the human desire for revenge.

          I’d like to hope I’m beyond crypto. Was a strange period in my life.

        i didn’t mean to argue about the value of work. it doesn’t mean anything in coins to me

        Seems absurd to me compare the value of shekels 2,000 years ago to modern shekels, even before attempting to translate an ancient culture to ours today
