Perry Mason Jar posted:It's certainly impossible to do to (and possibly at) a certain scale. You can win the lottery or land an inheritance but to sustain it is innately to feast while those around you starve. Or not even feast, hoard the food away and snatch more out of others' hands so you may add to your untouched pile. Even at six figures you're going to have people in your life who you joke with, enjoy the company of, who help you with everyday tasks who struggle to make it from day to day for want of money that would mean essentially nothing to you, and you're not helping them. Why aren't you helping them? The first world is built around keeping the exploiter a few degrees removed from the exploited - you know all your cheap clothes are made possible by brutality in Bangladesh, but you don't actually know any Bangladeshis and the mechanism by which you'd do anything about it is totally opaque so this idea manifests at best as a vague sense of Catholic guilt in the back of your head as you sort through the shirts at Kohl's - and so indifference to wars, 'tough on crime' etc. etc. The moral equation for the rich is a bit different - it is impossible to know only rich people, to not directly face at least a few of those you've robbed of their lives and aspirations so your number can go up, and you have a tremendous degree of agency here. Being able to smirk and tell the guy whose untreated Stage 4 cancer bought new leather seats on your yacht about the value of a hard day's work and sleep soundly that night is what differentiates the wealthy from the not; revelling in it is what differentiates the mediocre wealthy from the superrich.

I love it when people bring up Occam's razor to say that Epstein commited suicide because of prison conditions or whatever. Nearly every time you hear that phrase it's to argue for some basic bitch idiot position.

Why aren't you helping them? You can feed it back onto itself to perpetuate altruism. For example, I make $55K (NYC metro). This is far more money than I need to sustain myself. So every month I check my money and figure out how much of it I can give away and end up giving away a few hundred a month. Why then would I not only want to continue earning this much but in fact earn more? So it can be several hundred dollars a month instead. Further, it allows me enough to sustain myself and have enough to absorb any unexpected expenses. This month there was a car repair that cost over a thousand dollars and my parents needed a large loan (below a thousand, though). I'm able to satisfy both costs and stay on track to continue giving money away. I used to make $27K and I assure you I have more capacity for good than then (I was working at a homeless shelter then and kept bitching about having no actual power to help them beyond, like, being nice to them in a lovely situation; now I actually have the power to prevent homelessness and have actually done that very thing, as one example). If you earn a million dollars a year and sustain yourself with $30-50K (region dependent) while giving the rest away, and none of that money is earned through exploitation, yes you'll be just fine. It's absolutely a tightrope act though. I really hate money, I don't want for it at all, and I'd live a perfectly happy life making just enough to sustain myself (including small luxuries, which are necessary to normal function) but I'd only go that route knowing others can sustain themselves. I would never exploit anyone to supposedly altruistic ends though, don't fall for that lie.

Why aren't you helping them? My favourite way to explain this is the average american salary is $31k. If you imagine going to a buffet where they distribute food in the same way wealth is distributed in America, and $31k represents 1 plate, there are 150 million people sitting there without a single plateful while Jeff Bezos has like 3.5 million plates of food. Even a mere 1x billionaire has 32,000 plates of food. Like fair enough if someone has worked really loving hard saving kittens and building orphanages maybe they deserve 3 or maybe even 4 plates of food, but 3.5 million? lmao.

It's even workable at two or three ordinary incomes, with some difficulty. This Robin Hood formulation breaks down anywhere meaningfully above that, though; you don't see people making a million dollars a year living like a part-time cook and giving the rest away to charity, because being in a position to make a million dollars a year requires schmoozing with the other millionaires and keeping up with the Joneses, and outside Powerball windfalls there is no way to personally make a million dollars a year that doesn't involve doing more harm than any person can undo with a million dollars. What you're proposing in practice isn't much different from quitting the homeless shelter where you had no power to help the homeless beyond being nice to them, to work for ICE because maybe you can be nice to the detainees.

i want more information about the intelligence angle in all this. feels right to say the CIA and/or mossad were maybe extorting VIPs and dumping the profits in some off the books slush fund. given the number of foreign nationals involved there's obviously old fashioned spy work at play too. i saw someone on twitter (i know) mention this thing about epstein being involved in insider trading in the 90s, coupled with the suspicious 9/11 put options made on the chicago exchange - where some of his co-conspirators were based in 2000 - 2001. i poated about some pages back for the laughs but now idk whats up or down. but it may be one rabbit hole too many for me to dive into. i don't think my brain can take that level of crack ping gh0stpinballa has issued a correction as of 20:11 on Aug 14, 2019 |
