Everytime I look at small problems or big global problems, if you follow the money trail, it all leads to some billionaire who is either working towards increasing their wealth or protecting their wealth from decreasing.

Everything from politics, climate change, workers rights, democratic government, technology, land rights, human rights can all be rendered down to people fighting another group of people who defend the rights of a billionaire to keep their wealth or to expand their control.

If humanity got rid of or outlawed the notion of any one individual owning far too much money than they could ever possibly spend in a lifetime, we could free up so much wealth and energy to do other things like save ourselves from climate change.

1.000.000.000€ is if you get 1000€ every day for 3000 years.

Think about it.

Take out a calculator.

And than see, that I lied and its just 913.24€ every day for 3000 years.

Than think about WHO DA FUK needs money like this?

Mark has around 150 bio € so 150x3000= 450.000 years of 913.24€ EVERY FUKKING DAY.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
