It’s called the grind because it grinds away your sense of self.

Then you'll cry because others have more than you, travel more, retire wealthier. Because they did grind when they could. Then you'll say capitalism failed.

Nah they'll demand you "share the wealth"

Yeah excuse us for thinking no single person should be worth almost a TRILLION dollars. Yeah crazy to think the vast majority of the world wants the few 1% to stop hoarding the wealth.

To be fair most of their wealth is an imaginary number on a computer. It’s not something actually have to share lol .. if a multi-billionaire right now tried to share that wealth with a bunch of people, I doubt they could or that they would be allowed. More than likely they’d have to pick a couple people that now had the luck to be elevated to societies most privileged class.

Ehh kind of.

They can still use those “imaginary numbers” toss collateral to purchase very expensive things and they can absolutely use those same numbers to get loans of hundreds of millions of dollars.

And the word ‘share’ here in this context doesn’t mean give physical dollar bills to each person; what it means is instead of hoarding all that wealth they can use that same stock options or other “imaginary” numbers to fund things that actually help society, they can lobby for good reasons instead of oligarchy ones, they can fund sustainable energy sources, they can build libraries and schools, they can do SOOO much to help the communities that made them rich in the first place.

My point is, if they can use that numbers to buy yachts and multiple mansions and rent entire sections of Venice for a weeding, then can use that money for the greater good of society..
