During a pandemic fucking over so many people financially too lmao
did it go up TO 1 trillion or go up BY one trillion? kind of an important thing to not equivocate.
also does the wealth exist in any form you think it does (it doesn't) and is it sufficient to solve the problem you want it to (no, a trillion dollar stimulus was not enough)

"Ballooned by a staggering $1 trillion" means it went up by $1 trillion, and I'm not sure why you assume I don't know how wealth works, but unfortunately for you I already know what you're talking about AND I never even said "we can solve the pandemic with money from billionaires" for the same reason you can't end world hunger with money from billionaires--the issue runs much deeper in society. Billionaires wouldn't even give up so much wealth in the first place lmao they start outsourcing jobs for cheap labor when basic safety regulations in business are introduced.
Anyway, it seems like you're talking to a nonexistent person you want on this post for your arguments to make sense, so get back to me when you're replying to Sivi Death2america
love how obnoxious and presumptuous this is. you can tell he’s assuming that we think the wealth exists in cash form, which of course it doesn’t, it’s mostly in the form of corporate assets- here’s the thing tho, a lot of those corporate assets, especially for Jeff Bezos/Amazon, takes the form of delivery infrastructure, which, whaddaya know, actually would be sufficient to solve the issue, in a way that a trillion in cash wouldn’t, as delivery infrastructure could be seized by the people and used to implement a free food delivery system which would allow people to actually stay at home and prevent the spread of the virus.
anyways, brazenautomaton please unblock me, coward
@brazenautomaton additionally; regardless of whether you equivocate it or not; dude has a full 1/27 of our ENTIRE NATION’S DEBT IN HIS POCKET. If we had a large kindergarten class of Jeffs, we could theoretically cancel out all of our public and private debt!! And we totally do—it’s the upper 1% and we can’t do anything to help ourselves with their wealth hoarding ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
He doesn't have 1/27th of the national debt. All of them together have 1/27th of the national debt. You don't have a large kindergarten class of Jeffs, it takes a large amount of people to equal what you think one Jeff has, which is 1/27th of the national debt. Would stealing everything they own be worth it to pay off 1/27th of the national debt? No, you idiot.
Let's start the "Communists get a fucking sense of scale" challenge. The fact that there are people who have more resources than you think they should does not mean they have infinite resources. They do not have what you think they have, and what they have is not within orders of magnitude of what it would take to do what you want them to do.
And I cannot stress enough that they have is not in the form you think it is. Smugly claiming that you know what it really is is not a substitute for knowing, you seem to have that confused. Every Communist claiming the rich are hoarding wealth needs to smash their hand with a mallet until they learn to stop saying that. Money invested in stock is currently being used to do useful things and is the opposite of hoarded. What, are you going to claim now that they are hoarding wealth because they have a very useful thing that a lot of people are getting utility from, but they refuse to give control over it to an incompetent and malicious organization? Or do you think that because the owners have so much wealth --which is a MEASURE of how much utility the company can provide -- they can afford to just do everything for free, because you have no sense of scale and you count like the fucking Pirahã?
But even though it's fucking gibberish, you cannot stop saying the rich are hoarding wealth, because any exposure to knowing what the fuck you're talking about causes Communism to burst into flames.
hey brazen, it seems i have to reply to this by reblogging this post from your idiot sycophant followers, since you still have me blocked, coward.
i just want to express, first, how little respect i have for you. what an utterly contemptible worm of a person you are. what a pathetic coward, and what a sniveling little bootlicker. i may disagree strongly with the “bill gates is going to put the mark of the beast on us” crowd, but at least they understand, on some rudimentary level, that the ruling class is not their friend. but you? you’re just an unapologetic apologist for the most powerful people on earth. utterly pathetic.
Money invested in stock is currently being used to do useful things and is the opposite of hoarded.
who, exactly, is “doing useful things” here? not jeff, who is quite open about doing little to no labor:
so who then? i mean, utility doesn’t just appear out of thin air- someone must be working here. but who?
oh! i see. the people being literally worked to death in his warehouses. that’s who’s doing useful things. it’s not just some magical mechanism whereby money goes in and Useful Things comes out- rather, this money is being used to find new and exciting ways to exploit labor. and of course, the value generated by this labor isn’t going to the people working themselves literally to death- no, it’s going back to bezos, so he can find even newer and more exciting ways to work people to death. how lovely.
What, are you going to claim now that they are hoarding wealth because they have a very useful thing that a lot of people are getting utility from, but they refuse to give control over it to an incompetent and malicious organization?
very funny to hear democratic worker control described as an “incompetent and malicious organization”- the workers, the people actually generating this utility, are “incompetent and malicious” but jeff bezos is just the purest sweetest blessed child. how precious. and again- who’s labor is generating that utility?
Or do you think that because the owners have so much wealth –which is a MEASURE of how much utility the company can provide –
this is so naive i’m almost moved to pity. wealth in the form of stock is a measure of how much utility a company can provide? no. it’s a measure of how much profit it can generate by selling the utility that is extracted from the workers.
they can afford to just do everything for free, because you have no sense of scale and you count like the fucking Pirahã?
you know, funny thing, vietnam was able to afford the free food delivery that was a critical linchpin in getting covid under control there, and mysteriously, they were able to accomplish that with substantially less resources than amazon has available in the form of, for example, their fleet of amazon fresh vehicles and related equipment.
so help me square this circle little buddy. help me understand why it’s supposedly impossible to do with so much more what vietnam was able to accomplish with so much less.
and, one final time: unblock me you worthless fucking coward.
