Didn't he also have something to say about the rich who donated a large amount of money, but a small percentage of their wealth versus a poor woman who donated her last shekel?

The Widow’s Offering

41 And he sat down opposite the treasury, and watched the multitude putting money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums. 42 And a poor widow came, and put in two copper coins, which make a penny. 43 And he called his disciples to him, and said to them, “Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury. 44 For they all contributed out of their abundance; but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, her whole living.”

Do rich Christians think that passing a camel through the eye of a needle is the easiest poo poo ever? I'm not Christian, so forgive me if my interpretation of the New Testament is wrong, but I'm pretty sure Jesus wasn't too big a fan of the very wealthy.

Well you see, the Eye of the Needle was actually a gate in the walls of Jerusalem which was exceptionally wide, so it was really quite easy for a fully-laden camel to walk through it

I did my research and the maths and figured out that being a nuclear weapons engineer pays damned good money. I make so much I can donate tons of cash to the survivors of the most horrible calamity - nuclear war. I would be hard pressed to name one nuclear-burns doctor that has done as much for survivors as myself. I feel so damned smug that I made this one simple choice that has done so much good for the world.

That's fine until the tax man gets hold of your key card log in an audit and sends you a loving bill for all the extra hours you haven't paid taxes for at the going rate. (They don't give a poo poo if you haven't actually gotten paid for said hours.)

(Maybe in the US the revenue service doesn't have access to such logs? IDK.)

A college friend got a job at one of the big laser labs that the US uses for designing nuclear weapons inertial confinement fusion research for green energy!!! and said he had to quit after he got to a point where he'd frequently wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat after having a nightmare that he helped cause the nuclear holocaust

There just aren't that many unions anymore thanks to decades of unionbusting. Millennials are generally happy to join a union when there's one to join.

Unions also don't really do a great job of community outreach or advertising. Or at least, not locally. You can drive around the interstate and see big signs painted on parked trailers for non-union shops, and they have logos plastered all over schools where they've done work or pay for radio ads.

By contrast, my local does gently caress-all for advertising except going to a couple high school job fairs and putting up a bunch of lights downtown for Christmas.
