True even on a logarithmic scale! That is how insane the wealth gap is.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 1 month ago

I remember uneven wealth distribution was a bad thing even in pro-capitalism Economics 101 (macroeconomics), like this is the thing that will collapse your economy and cause death, disasters without response and eventually popular uprising.

FOX NEWS has, for decades now, been showing us our oligarchs don't care.

Could be a few bad months from being homeless, never a few good months from being wealthy.

Even if they are a few bad years to become homeless. We are not even a few good lifetimes away to be billionaires.

Not even billionaire, but millionaire too.

Eddy is going to be rich any day now. Ed is content with his lot. Edd is the classical chronic depressive that would post this sort of thing on Lemmy.

My review: accurate meme

I feel like Ed is the kind of guy who would end up lucking into a decent job where is nigh philosophical idiocy somehow allows him to skirt by. No one understands what the hell he means, but it motivated them, make him management.

Yeah, but he'd be as fulfilled by that as much as he would by picking up cans.

"You are much closer to being homeless"

I'll have you know I'm fulfilling my life goals

For most of us (like around 88% of the US population) you're closer to being homeless than you are to ever owning a home even a crappy apartment in the waste shadow of an industrial zone.

You like to see homos naked? That's cool, man, whatever.
