Lets be honest, they push it for less than a million.
BautaStein
Only that they make other people doing the button pushing

capitalism in a nutshell
Becker37
They don't give a shit about us. They are experts with gaslighting. They're killing us and yet it's our fault.
taxirelaxi
So how many times can Bezos push the button exacty?
ace5762
I miss when literally meant literally and wasn't used a prefix for emphasis..
ZPITTZ
Not someone you know, hoards of people you don’t have any interaction with because you are so far removed from the rabble.
Ludus
Spidey209
A billionaire pushed that button 1,000 times
Urktheturtle
oh no, its almost like... thats the point of the story.
ParadigmPerspectives
I would like to respectfully propose a challenge to this post. I think this video does a great job. Thank you https://youtu.be/exCcz6uLbw8
graehall
That they're treated as heroes, geniuses, and like they earned it all themselves is wild. They're exploitative hoarders.
BubblesTheFish
Look, Jeff Bezos just works 2.8 million times harder than me, that's all there is to it. Don't like it? Work 3 million times harder.
JustAlex94
Button pushing became automated so they don't have to do anything but just turn it on.
khora
Well, someone I don’t know dies when I don’t press the button.
broote
Push their own button?? Like some kind of peasant? BAH! JEEVES! The button if you will, press it again.
0ptix
They don’t even have to ask. They have people who know it’s what the billionaire wants.

curmudgeon91
I mean, if they pushed the button, only they and their money would die; so, obviously, they have employees to do it for them.
dizzyturtle
"Literally every billionaire" you say?
ace5762
You can buy an awful lot of turd shine from the media with a billion dollars.

(Kinda weird) video with reliable sources on Gates/ Gates Foundation and how they're not all that great, actually.

In capitalism no one get rich from his/her work ..... one get rich through exploitation of others, criminal or inheritance
ParadigmPerspectives
It looks like we have very different world views. Can we have a respectful dialogue? I’d like to start by asking you how you feel cap is exp
Renavoid
Hi, what you mean with cap is exp .... I mean what is exp .... Sry, English is not my 1st language and I dont know what is exp
ParadigmPerspectives
Thanks for letting me know. Cap = Capitalism. Exp = exploitation. Can you explain why you believe capitalism is exploitation? Thanks! :)
Renavoid
It's hard to explain in 140 char. I'll post image of text in next post, try right click on pic and open in new tab, I hope u could read it.
ParadigmPerspectives
Sounds great, thank you. I am new to the app & don’t know how it works. I don’t see the image. Can u let me know once it’s posted? Thanks!

"Literally" No. Not literally. I call bullshit. A REAL billionaire has people to push that button for them. They are busy going to space.
YesYouJustLostTheGameAgain

Going near space*
cheesypundit
To be fair, they said "literally every billionaire presses", not "every billionaire literally presses".
TheWinterBagel

apeshigh
Nah. They have an automated button for it, literally, yes literally every other person in existence can due for all they care
MH9009
dalaiyoda
Actually the entire rocket program thing came about from an experiment into being able to push that button as hard as motherfucking possible
SubtleSun
Oh damn, there are 2,755 billionaires in the world
Eli93
Just 0.00000034% of people we have to guillotine to make the world a better place? I call that a win.
Hypothesist
And yet some people work teo minimum wage jobs to get by
NoOne001
He said "effectively". Literally referred to "every billionaire".
JohnBigboote74
It also says every billionaire is "actively" pushing that button, a claim which I have disputed in 140 characters or less.
That0neguy727
Gonna need a red circle on that one there, guy.
JohnBigboote74
Oh, ffs.... now I have to fire up my red circle software? You realize that's just supporting Big Circle, don't you? smh
TheRiverRat
Hey remember ol musky said proudly he'll coup who ever he wants
deathslayer4
Do you have a quote on that? I'd be interested to know when he said that.

I believe it bc the guy is a self absorbed narcissist and control freak

Like most billionaires.

Just one in a long, LONG list of gross and abusive things he's done, really.
deathslayer4
This is hyperbolic and not helping actual injustice. If I make a product a billion people buy, I kill no-one. Emotional oversimplification.
graehall
That you immediately make it about you, & pretend you could solo make a product a billion people buy is quite telling.
Skywatcher16
if a billion people bought it, it was a lot more than just you that they bought it from. and killing isnt the only atrocity these fucks
Skywatcher16
commit as consequence for their actions
deathslayer4
Yep, all people are the same. Tell me more about people groups!
Skywatcher16
there is no mathematical way to be a billionaire and not have knowingly fucked someone over in some way.
deathslayer4
lol, math and assumptions go real well together. Who did Warren Buffett fuck over?
deathslayer4
And the echo chamber continues :-D You guys are a hoot. Nothing I said was wrong, yet I hang for it.
MeanMisterClean
Not exactly wrong, but really stupid and missing all of the points
deathslayer4
Which points? That everyone who makes money kills people? That seems pretty stupid to me.
MeanMisterClean
You literally don't understand how a billionaire becomes one. It's not by magically conjuring 1bn items and selling, it's by exploitation.
deathslayer4
I literally don't understand math? Why do you think its a fundamental rule of nature that having money requires the killing of others?
MeanMisterClean
Also, if one person has 1bn, it's necessary for countless other people to be poor. For one person. /shrug
dalaiyoda
The only echo here is in your head: Patting yourself on the back for invented persecution. The original comment is the oversimplification..
deathslayer4
I got shot down for pointing out the logical fallacy of the claim. Nobody here has provided an intelligent rebuttal for my points. Echos....
dalaiyoda
Because your "points" are a mix of opinion and unfalsifiability that ignore the entire history of capitalism. There's nothing to rebut.
deathslayer4
Tell me more about "the entire history of capitalism". I like hearing oversimplified propaganda.
PiggyWobbles
facebook being a great example... nobody is dying for it, as long as we ignore that they have intentionally trafficked hate to increase >
PiggyWobbles
< their ad revenue, which has directly led to cases of real world violence, death, etc. Can you name any "ethical" billionaire?
deathslayer4
Warren Buffet, to my knowledge, is an example.

Good read! Although it feels like a focused character assassination of someone who historically purchases the safes investments (which (1/2)
Chuckinsky
Bullshit. If you make such a great new product and become a billionaire just means you don't share your success with your workers enough. 1/
Chuckinsky
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY needs or deserves to be a billionaire. Hoarding that much wealth without helping others is indeed killing people.
deathslayer4
Remind me again what Bill Gates does full time with his vast wealth...
deathslayer4
That's what I thought...
stevencloser
You mean Bill Gates, the guy who himself says that he was a ruthless piece of shit when he made all his money?
Chuckinsky
And IMO Gates is definitely part of the problem. He might help more people like Zuck or Musk, but he's still unnecessarily rich.
deathslayer4
What is "Unnecessarily rich"? If he is steering tens of billions into purely social enrichment, how is this bad?
