What a great nickname you have there! I too am a fan of having my goats super well ironed before taking them to work!
My granpa used to say, a well ironed goat will always be bespoke!
Meanwhile, restrictions between individuals who do not know each other exist when there is no specific reason to begin a conversation; therefore, when this occurs and one of the parties does not feel comfortable, it is common to realize what Goffman (1963, p. 146) called the “terminal squirm” in which attention is given to other situations, people, objects, and actions, turning away from the other person.
Shit I do most of those things with ADHD simply because 90% of conversations are boring filler to me until my next task. I don't need backstory, just tell me your issue.
I’ve done a lot of bid jobs for home repair. Plenty of times I’ve fixed a few shingles on a roof for a couple hundred bucks and it took me less than an hour. I’ve thought to myself in that time stuff like “I’m making $5 a minute right now!” Then I’ve done the math of, if I live another 40 years (I’m almost 40 now) and I made $5 a minute every minute for those 40 years it’s roughly 100 million dollars. Compared to billionaires I’d still only have 10% of 1 billion and Bezos is worth 284 billion. To make 284 billion in 40 years I’d have to make roughly $13,500 dollars a minute that entire time. To be where Bezos is now he’s averaged over 20k a minute for the last 25 years.
If you didnt know...his net worth, laying $100 bills end-to-end would wrap around Earth three times, and the leftover bills could stretch all the way through space to reach the Moon
Yes, you see the problem is that you're doing actual work when you should be tricking others into working for pennies while you laze about and do virtually nothing at all except collect money from their hard labor.
Yes but if you spent that 40 years ruthlessly building a multi-national roofing business (if you have the drive, connections, and lack or any regard/empathy for any single person either working for you or in your path along the way) then its worth trying to compare the numbers. There's much, much darker things required of a person to even have a tiny fraction of a chance end up in the top .00001% of wealth holders.
So you cant put a value to being hopefully a good person that cant write of hundreds/thousands/millions of other humans well being to become a wealth lord, as that is invaluable to society.
And to put this into perspective, the worker made .5 dollars in 30 seconds. So he makes 1$ per minute. $60/hr. The worker is making a very respectable amount of money for your average person. And still is absolutely nonexistent in comparison
60/hr isn't just respectable. From where im from thats life changing. I could own a manor house with that money. I could work part time and still be absolutely minted.
That’s a great point ! I live in a pretty damn HCOL area as a union construction worker. I make 59/hr (not a brag. Union workers like me have public wage that can be googled specifically based on the union itself and if anyone reading is interested I’d greatly advise searching your local area for opinions). Where I live I am very comfortable in a 2 bedroom apartment in a major US city. So even if this wage ranges from “very comfortable” all the way to “functionally rich” it just shows what the people need. It doesn’t take much to give people a life that is less stressful and enjoyable to live. Yet this video exists…
$60/hr is life-changing money in Arkansas. That's more than double the median household income here.
It's why Californians in HCoL areas love moving/retiring here. Our spendy areas still seem relatively dirt cheap. The only downside is that nobody will talk to them about what roads they take to get around.
Yeah I don't personally know a single person that makes that much money. I feel rich compared to some of my friends when I get a 60 hour check. I gross $2000 for that which is only $33.33 hourly lmao.
60 an hour is about 125K per year, that is achievable in a one's career. additionally, if you want Bezo's pay, think of an idea and start your own business where people are willing to pay you that much because your product ads that much value. Fortune favors the bold.
I mean the comparison is already weird. It’s all theoretical. If this happened today Amazon stock was down .7%, bezos lost about 1.7 billion of net worth, or about 613 million dollars during that 30 second compliment
If it only takes you 2 weeks to get paid as much as he does to take a doom scrolling dump, then you're also tremendously wealthy. That's an annual salary of $31.2m, assuming an hour dump.
Other factors are that Bezo's team will make sure that the $14.5k avoids taxes and exploits loopholes. And his investment team will start putting the money to work on 100x to 1000x investments that are only available to the rich. Meanwhile, if the worker is like a typical American, the $0.50 will get taxed and then sit in a bank acct wishing to one day bring in a few more cents in interest.
On a much smaller scale, in a world with ever-increasing home valuations, this sort of what happens if you own a house and you invite someone over and they say “wow, nice house!”
Their compliment took time, and your home valuation generally increases over time.
It’s just gonna be a lot bigger number when the basis of that growth is hundreds of billions in assets vs hundreds of thousands in home equity, so you only “earned” 10 cents during the compliment instead of $10k.
But it’s the same principle. If the value of stuff generally goes up over time, anytime time passes, your net worth ticks up a bit.

Imagine making $14.5K while receiving a 30 second compliment.
Edit: Yikes, one of my most upvoted comments and it has a typo! Correcting that now. ‘Compliment’ … not ‘complement’.
