But if you have $131 billion you can probably afford air conditioning and regular bathroom breaks for everyday Americans that work in your stores. You’re still going to be ridiculously rich anyway. But, yeah, let’s focus on finding life on fucking Pluto. Do you know what I would do with 131 BILLION DOLLARS? - solve the Flint water crisis (50 mil) - organize relief to be sent to Puerto Rico (that’s what? 500 mil?) - pay for Little Miss Flint to go to college - buy an apartment complex in 30 big cities around the US to create special communities for homeless queer teens where they can get a hs and college diploma and learn job skills, get access to health and psychological care, and have access to non-queerphobic religious services if wanted (90 mil to start?) - buy my own house (at most 2 mil because I have to accommodate 3 family groups and I would want to make the house solar and wind powered; also the cost of my library and wait staff) - pay the medical bills of every victim of a mass shooting or police brutality (including psychiatric care for the PTSD) - give a 500k dollar grant to 4k minority-owned businesses (2 billion) - pay my dad’s ex-wife’s care bills so my half-siblings don’t need to worry about it (she’s old; 1 mil would set her up for life with a cushion for emergencies) - I’d have some kids - I’d start a daycare/education center chain for sex workers with children that also provided medical care for kids and college opportunities for the parents that accommodated their work schedules - I’d pay for young black kids to meet their book and movie heroes like Letitia Wright or Tomi Adeyemi - I’d find impoverished US communities in need of “standard” meds like asthma inhalers and insulin and provide for them - I would fucking bribe politicians to advocate for rape survivors, the disabled, and everyone else they fuck over on the Congress floor - I’d go see Hamilton maybe - I’d take my best friend to England and to Book Con - I’d open up more shelters for domestic violence and assault victims that offered opportunities in education, counseling, job help, and child care And after aaallllll that??? I’d still have like 100 BILLION DOLLARS LEFT - Also solved world hunger. That’s 4 Billion bucks. And honestly? That’s it. Most of the 1% can do that. He can do it 25 times. These bloated ticks draining the lives from their employees and their customer base have the power to enact MASSIVE change, and they do NOTHING.They are literally evil. There is no other word for having so much when others have so little. There is a new aristocracy. We should be building guillotines. Capitalism is great until you run out of other people’s money -- source link
