Everyone Deserves Nice Things
When people say that redistributing wealth means everyone will be poor, I remember that study that said that after $70K/year, people’s life satisfaction actually decreases. Here’s how many times the Forbes top 10’s net worth would pay that number:
Bezos: 2,042,857
Koch brothers (combined): 1,385,714
Bill Gates: 1,271,428
Buffet: 1,114,285
Zuckerberg: 908,571
Larry Ellison: 842,857
Bloomberg: 668,571
Larry Page: 637,142
Sergey Brin: 620,000
Total: 9,491,425
Everyone Deserves Nice Things
Bezos’ net worth would pay $70K to over 2M people.
He has 563,100 Amazon employees.

@SuzanEraslan They even try to avoid paying taxes, so it's not helping the country. What's the point in measuring success using GDP?
My country's actually looking at replacing GDP with something that takes 'total quality of life' into account when measuring the country's success. Really neat idea I think.

Stages of understanding piracy:
Kid: Pirates are good! I wanna be a pirate!
Student: Pirates are actually bad because they steal things and break the law
Expert: Pirates are nuanced because many of them were disaffected sailors and escaped slaves only doing what they had to do to survive in a harsh societ
Master: Pirates are good! I wanna be a pirate!

Mastodon is not the first online ecosystem for any of us, it’s a chance at a reboot.
So it’s pretty rad that our consensus answer to the question “If given a chance, what would I have done differently online to make for a better future?” is a resounding “be authentic and kind and seek connection with others.”

I have long found it ironic that the US puts a lot of effort into destroying the attempts by Latin American workers to improve their own living conditions, then complains when they want to come here for a better life!
