Isn't it great?

Ben Browning Yesterday at 6:08pm 1990's capitalism: Communism is bad, sure your basic needs might be guaranteed but you'd probably be made to share your car with everyone and let strangers come live in your apartment with you. You shouldn't force people to share, that's just wrong. 2010's capitalism: So you have a job but we noticed you're still broke as f--- and can barely afford your car and apartment, here are some apps that will let strangers use them along with your labor so you can get your basic needs met. We call it "the sharing economy" isn't it great?

Your 100% health insurance covers 70% of the fees

John Cook @johnjcook me, to our health insurance: "it says here that ER visits are covered at 100% so i'm not sure why we're getting this bill for $3500 from the doctor who treated our son in the ER'" insurance: "ER visits are covered at 100% but the doctors who treat you in the ER are covered at 70%" Allison Benedikt @abenedikt A great thing about having health insurance is that when your kid falls off his bike and gets some stitches on his chin, it only costs $3500

The wealth of the 0.01%

kropotkhristian Mark Zuckerberg lost $119 Billion dollars on the stock market today (7/26/18). This is the largest loss of wealth in a single day in modern stock history. This will literally not change his lifestyle or effect his livelihood at all. He is still a multi-billionaire. If I worked every single day, for the rest of my life, at $15/hr - which is more than twice the national minimum wage I would never make even 1/1000tlh the amount of just the money that Zuckerberg lost today If I worked every single day, for the entirety of the time that anatomically modern humans have existed (200,000 years) at $15/hr - I would still not make one tenth of the amount of just the money he lost today And he is still a billionaire and will lose literally zero luxury or well-being from what happened today You want to know how absolutely grotesque modern wealth inequality is? There you go. Source: kropotkhristian 22,229 notes
