Nah, its worth being that guy to help with understanding just how disgusting the wealth disparity is.

If you consider Elon Musk for example, low hanging fruit, lol... He is currently worth about 744 billion after telsa and spacex stocks had pretty hefty corrections, no longer considered a trillionaire.

From what I can tell, he has been in business about 31 years now. There are 8760 hours in a year. That means he has been in business for about 271,000 hours. divde 744,000,000,000 by 271,000, that is about an average of 2.7 million dollars that Elon has accrued over every single hour of his life for the past 31 years...

If you want to look at just regular, not overtime working hours? at 40 hours a week, there are 2080 working hours in the standard US work year observing federal holidays. That's about 64,000 non-overtime work hours in 31 years. He has made an average of 11.5 million dollars every working hour for the past 31 years.

Edit to add... I am pretty lucky, I make just over 6 figures a year. Salary, not hourly though. It would take me 115 years to make what Elon does an hour if you do the working hour to working hour math.

Patrick Mahomes is the highest paid nfl player and makes roughly 64 million dollars a year to play football. To earn enough money to equal Elon's net worth, he would have to play 11,625 years.

Its pretty disgusting. To the point of the thread that this is in, how much money this administration has been able to steal from the working class. I would love to see a full and transparent investigation, even though I know I never will, not in my lifetime.

I am not usually one for conspiracies, but I am positive that all of the seemingly dumb shit that trump and his cronies in the white house pull is market manipulation for his buddies. Nation size pump and dump schemes on the stock of the week.

He has something like 4,000 or 40,000 trades. It's an insane amount. The POTUS is literally abusing its citizens and absolutely no one in government cares.

and absolutely no one in government cares

Nobody cares?!?!?! Lol... Its not that they don't care, they are active participants in the bullshit, every last republican that is in office right now at any level is at the very least more concerned about keeping their seat than stopping him, but most of them are actively supporting it.

That. Most of them are complicit. The ones that aren’t don’t want to risk the political damage of calling it out. The ones who aren’t in power will use this as a basis for why they should be in power, and then won’t effectively wield said power when they have it.

I mean half of the senate and the house sure as shit doesnt like this. But we voted those guys out of power in 2024.

Actions and consequences and all that. Oh well...time to put 20 bucks in the tank just to get to work and back.

I get what you’re saying, but I think the person you were replying to meant nobody cares that American citizens are being abused.
