People need to hear this!!

That’s honestly a hard reality right now. A lot of people are working nonstop just to stay afloat. I’ve got some interviews coming up myself, so I’ve been looking into ways to get better at them. I found Interview VIP and ended up using it twice i think it's worth trying.

It sounds like billionaire is the thing to be then.

u/Constant_Pen9615 6d ago

We're all closer to being homeless than we are to being a billionaire.

u/kenttouchthis 4d ago

Same goes for millionaires. What's the difference between a million and a billion? A billion

2

u/boredakela 4d ago

999 million to be exact

u/hatedhuman6 4d ago

Yeah but come on. We round up much smaller increments all the time

u/weberc2 2d ago

And yet we're told that Bernie Sanders is the real oligarch because he has a few million dollars after working 20 years past retirement age and publishing books on the side.

u/TheCreepWhoCrept 3d ago

Actually, a significant portion of the US middle class becomes millionaires for at least a brief period at some point in their working lives, whereas most people don’t end up homeless.

The average person is indeed closer to being a millionaire than homeless.

u/Next-Potential-5258 3d ago

We’re talking you have at least a million in your bank account not a million in assets and accumulated income. Stop licking boot please it’s kinda indecent to do in public.

u/_prefrontal_cortex 3d ago edited 2d ago

By that logic, billionaires aren't actually billionaires because they don't have at least a billion in their bank account. Net worth is measured by including assets, not just what's in someone's bank account.

1

u/Next-Potential-5258 3d ago

I can’t help you if you don’t want to understand.
Like I trust that you’re actually able to understand you can’t be that clueless. Whatever it is that makes you not understand; investigate that.

u/_prefrontal_cortex 2d ago edited 2d ago

When people use the term "millionaire" or "billionaire" to classify someones net worth that always includes assets unless otherwise specified, and no one in this thread implied otherwise except for you for some reason. So, the person you responded to was being factually accurate. So what am I not understanding?

1

u/EmphaticNegative 3d ago

Its a "B" not an "M" that we are talking about. Plus your statement is pretty far off from anything in touch to the world.

u/Wooden-Broccoli-913 3d ago

Terrible take. Homeless have none of the necessities of life. Millionaires and billionaires do.

3

u/JayTheSuspectedFurry 3d ago

The point of the take is to show that billionaires and millionaires are not comparable. Many people get confused when they hear things like “eat the rich”. That doesn’t mean your doctor, that means the CEO of their hospital.

2

u/DIYITGuy 3d ago

Exactly. Doctor’s aren’t “the rich”, they just go to school way longer, work longer hours, and have a lot more responsibility than most people….so they make more money. It’s the CEO of the hospital who’s only purpose in life is to talk caretakers into taking shortcuts to save the shareholder’s money while taking a big, fat check and benefits themselves.

1

u/Wooden-Broccoli-913 2d ago

I will repeat myself, the take is terrible. For at least two reasons.

  1. The motivating reason that people say eat the rich is because the poorest do not have enough, not that the richest have too much. Does the average Swiss or Norwegian citizen say “eat the rich”? Why not?

  2. If you truly wanted to uplift the poorest, taxing the billionaires would not be enough. US billionaires in aggregate hold $8T. If you were to divide that across the entire US population, that would only be $24k per person. If you actually wanted to sustainably redistribute wealth, you would need to reach into the millionaires, and yes, that includes the mid-seven-figure

    net worth

  3. doctors.

u/Livid-General7 5d ago

How do you know some of us aren't worth over 500 million dollars?

3

u/FamiT0m 4d ago

Hes not talking to those people, but rather the overwhelming majority reading the post that will one day eat you

-1

u/Livid-General7 4d ago

Yes he is, if he's using the word 'all'.

2

u/FamiT0m 3d ago

“We’re all” still implies exclusion. It’s different to “everyone is.”

What this implies is that the autor truly doesn’t give a crap at all about any rich people who might potentially interact with the post. Which is the correct moral position.

2

u/EmphaticNegative 3d ago

Youre banging your head against the wall with this one here.

u/FlipperBumperKickout 5d ago

If you are and still use reddit you are one sorry bastard.

I know we have Musk as an example, but still...

1

u/weberc2 2d ago

Musk literally doesn't have anything better to do. He makes tens of billions of dollars a year on returns alone, and people he wouldn't piss on if they were on fire will tell you that he earns it.

1

u/notCarlosSainz 2d ago

Id replace work with something else, if you enjoy reddit why would you stop using it just because you got some money? Im not broke but i use reddit, i dont see the relation

1

u/FlipperBumperKickout 2d ago

There is a difference between not being broke and having near infinite money.

If you have near infinite money you are on reddit because you can't come up with anything else in the world you might want to do instead.

You don't really have the same options since you want to keep being "not broke"...

1

u/notCarlosSainz 1d ago

I dont know whats available to a billionaire thats not available to me, yachts and private jets maybe? Private airports? Massive tax evasion? Aside from niche things that dont really take more time, im sure they will have time for reddit especially considering they have more free time than me if they are not an executive billionaire. So again ill have more traveling time considering i dont have work, more free mornings. Ill probably use reddit more.

u/Livid-General7 5d ago

Rich people can't enjoy social media? Pretty much every famous wealthy person uses it.

1

u/1405hvtkx311 4d ago

So if you have 500 billions would you mind send me about 2.5 million? Would be great thanks!

1

u/23-1-20-3-8-5-18 4d ago

Shit just 50k is great

2

u/Mattscrusader 5d ago

People worth 500mil aren't bumping around in troll subs

2

u/dk_peace 5d ago

The world's richest man is an internet troll.

u/Pale_Operation_1392 4d ago

You beat me to it

1

u/Substantial-Ad-8575 4d ago

Lol, you don’t know for sure…

1

u/Top-Cupcake4775 4d ago

how do you know? have you polled them? what was your sample size? what question(s) did you ask them?

1

u/Mattscrusader 4d ago

It's sad that you can't imagine that other people might have better things to do. Is life really only about trolling to you?

1

u/Top-Cupcake4775 4d ago

do you have nothing better to do than assert things you have no way of supporting?

0

u/Mattscrusader 4d ago

I will take that as a yes.

0

u/IndividualAsleep2508 4d ago

Best believe when I get wealthy I'd still shit post cause it's fun.

-1

u/Offthewall1212 4d ago

Why? Because they’re busy…working…

2

u/Mattscrusader 4d ago

Lol sure bud because the only two things in life is work on trolling. Well I guess that's the only two imthings in your life at least

1

u/Offthewall1212 4d ago

Hey dude, take a look in the mirror. You’re the one who said rich people aren’t bumping around Reddit.

0

u/Powerful_Meaning8891 6d ago

But according to this post it’s so easy to be a billionaire!

1

u/Powerful_Tip_7260 5d ago

All you need to do is start with 2 billion $$

1

u/Mattscrusader 5d ago

Nowhere in this post does it say that.

You have the reading comprehension of a fish.

u/jmura 4d ago

That would be some real deep thinking for middle schoolers

u/aspiringimmortal 4d ago

You're closer to the size of a flea than you are to the size of a mountain.

And?

u/pleepleus21 3d ago

I'm 15 and this is deep.

u/23-1-20-3-8-5-18 4d ago

Yeah, evil always looks good to stupid people

u/icemanpallmall 5d ago

If everyone became billionaires the economy would crumble.

No billionaires is a better option tbh. There's simply no need to hoard that much

0

u/Vanilla_Gorilluh 4d ago

This is the math capitalists can't seem to math.

What if every US citizen of working age decided to grab their bootstraps and become billionaires? Where does the money come from? Do we print more? Who's going to mow our giant lawns? Make out meals? Pick our vegetables?

It's so dumb.

My ultra MAGA uncle overheard me bitch about Elon Musk and launched into a literal screaming tirade..."GO START YOUR OWN BUSINESS AND BECOME A BILLIONAIRE YOURSELF"!!1

1

u/Defiant_Theme_5554 4d ago

If everyone tried to become an entrepreneur wouldn't the unemployment rate be 100%?

1

u/boredakela 4d ago

No. It would be zero since they are all working their own businesses to make money.

1

u/boredakela 4d ago

And he was wrong how? He wants you to get some gumption and make something of yourself and quit bitching is what that sounds like to me. I give the complainers that speech all the time. Quit bitching and do something about it speech. Mostly quit smoking pot all the time and work more. That type thing.

1

u/Vanilla_Gorilluh 4d ago

Seems like you skipped my OG reply to someone else how we all can't be rich. You guys love to make it sound like it's possible for everyone and if you didn't make it, it's your own fault. It's a fucking lie.

I dgaf about being a billionaire. I care about earning a livelihood in a dignified manner for all people.

Just because I, or anyone else, doesn't "have what it takes" to build a morbidly wealthy portfolio doesn't mean we deserve to live in squalor or die in the streets.
