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

Society is appalling

detrea The premise of minimum wage, when it was introduced, was that a single wage earner should be able to own a home and support a family. That was what it was based on; a full time job, any job, should be able to accomplish this. The fact people scoff at this idea if presented nowadays, as though the people that ring up your groceries or hand you your burgers dont deserve the luxury of a home and a family, is disgusting.

Entitlement at it's finest.

Kayla O'Brian Yesterday at 2:37 PM. If you can't afford to pay a living wage, you can't afford to be in business. Asking people to work below poverty wages so you can own a business is entitlement at it's finest You are asking human beings to use their lives to subsidize your desire to own a business If a job is worth being done, it's worth being paid enough to live

Liberal vs Conservative vs Socialist

Liberal: Faith in humanity restored! Conservative: That's the work ethic this country needs. Socialist: Why is this situation even possible? An 83-year-old John Joyce makes money mowing lawns. His 20-year-old truck died so he'd been pushing his lawnmower several miles just to get to each house. One of his customers started a GoFundMe page earlier this month raised $13,000 for a new truck and had enough money left over to pay for the insurance and buy him a new lawnmower. RETWEETS LIKES 1,983 3,591
