Should classify people who hoard wealth mentally unstable. What’s the difference between hoarding fake little pieces of green paper and shoes? Evidently hoarding shoes won’t make you a powerful demigod.
There’s very little actual paper. It’s just numbers on a computer screen. They’re hoarding numbers made of light. Resulting in the rest of us getting screwed.
There’s very little light. They’re hoarding bits of electromagnetic patterns on silicon wafers and platters shoved into noisy boxes
One day, I’m going to dive and swim in a giant vault filled with my own hoard of electromagnetic bits. Then people like me better watch their step!
Like this?
Its a high score video game for them.

Keep in going down layer after layer and you’ll ultimatelly find it’s all ownership claims on limited resources and the products made from such resources and trillions of man hours of work (which in turn also boils down to the resource which is “time”, specifically “fractions of human life”).
Also there’s quite a lot of things directly and indirectly owned that whilst abstract and naturaly infinite, were made scarce by Laws, such as copyrighted materials (which could otherwise be freely duplicated) or brands who are only worth something due to trademark (as otherwise anybody could use any brand mark, so brand marks would have no recognition or trust value).
They’re hoarding IOU claims on resources.
That’s why it’s a problem for everybody else.
It they were just meaningless numbers with no real link back to things which are scarce, it would be absolutelly fine (unhealthy for them but fine for everybody else).
They are not hoarding anything at all, the actual economic system it’s sustained in nothing else than zeros into an electronic bank account, so basically all their wealth didn’t physically exist, the modern economic system it’s just a well made fallacy to keep all the shit working together cos probably no one knows what will happen when everything goes to the fuck.
IDK why people still believe wealth it’s equal to physical shit like we was still in the XV century, nowdays wealth it’s equal to a bunch of zeros in an electronic bank account which aren’t real, they are just real at the level of keeping the wheel spinning and nothing else.
Fake or real, the mental urge for them to harm environment and society just to get a few more tick marks on that spreadsheet makes them mentally unstable.
I believe humankind should think about conquering other planets and expand the human dominance over the galaxy instead of exploiting each other to make unreal profit while the habitable condition of the only planet we have goes to the fuck.
Sounds like a reasonable plan to me.
Sooo when do we stsrt eating them?
And people still buy into “they’re a business and they need to make money!”
Where does that money go? Big picture, where does it go?
They got the TV, we got the truth
They own the judges and we got the proof
We got hella people, they got helicopters
They got the bombs and we got the, we got the
We got the guillotine
We got the guillotine, you better run
Cry some more
Imagine thinking a natural biological expression of sadness and grief is an insult. Masculinity so fragile you can almost taste it right through the internet!
If that’s crying then it sounds like you’re crying too lol

Dang, I wonder if that money will ever come back into circulation with former taxation on their wealth. No? Okay just increase that money copier and keep inflation going BABAY!
poorest get poorer
So you mean to tell me that those with no money or possessions have somehow attained negative value?
It’s called debt and yes. People are turning to Credit Cards and Payday Loans to make the bills.
Also, wealth does not only come from the amount of assets yoi have, your net income plays a big role in that as well.
It does have a lot to do with total assets though.
Because at a certain point all assets(capital) generates its own money. It’s the very basis of Capitalism.
Bill Gates total income didn’t double during COVID. His assets just are worth a lot twice as much. Therefore he now is worth twice as much, and his assets generate twice as much wealth thereby compounding the issue.
How can you get a credit card or a loan if you have bad or no credit (aka likely someone who is the poorest of the poor)
Go look at places like cashnetusa. They’re the only kind of places that will work with the people you described and they have like 400% interest rates.
You take out a loan of $1,000 and get trapped for years.
I saw something that said if you have $0, you are wealthier than X% of people in the US simply because you do not have debt.
