well tbh, that is the reason that (in developed countries) you have social security that pays out a percentage of your last paid salary when you lose your job.

i remember when latrell sprewell (former NBA player) complained about how he wanted to get paid more because "i gotta feed my family" in the early 2000s and was widely mocked. maybe he should have gone into finance instead, he'd be loved more for saying that

This is like the third time that kind of Hot Take has made the rounds, and I'm starting to wonder

Maybe the financial sector's professional culture of looking rich to look successful (i.e. what they have to do to be taken seriously) is so out of control that their obscene wealth really is having trouble keeping up with it, they're not making it up

Pretty much the same was true of Russian aristocrats in 1916 after all

I read some book that suggested the idea of fractal wealth. In the old world people were just kind of content being in the super rich club but now there's always someone richer and more exclusive than you. There's a world of difference between the 99% and the 1%, but there's the same amount of difference between the 1% and the .1%, etc etc

There's no real indicator of when you've actually "made it" in our society because there's always someone way richer than you

I heard it called Fractal Inequality. There's always someone so obscenely rich compared to you that you never feel like you've really "made it."

Those boxes look like Dominoes boxes, right? Because I agree feeding any human being Dominoes is a pretty appalling human rights violation.

Edit: I googled and I am correct. Apparently this has been a "funny" sign in their stores for a while.

Recently a large two-topping pizza was on sale for $6 if you bought online. It was a good value at that price. In fact, I would pay as much as $8.

I mean I'm a gross smelly alcoholic goon as much as the next poster, but Jesus Christ. If your going to soil the sacred temple of your body with salt and saturated fat, pay the extra $4 for something that isn't "extruded industrial standard pizza product Dominoes formula #34-2C" and actually enjoy the experience.
