Billionaires can go wherever they want. They like places like NYC because we have everyone and everything.
When you have a lot of money it becomes hard to find ways to spend it and big cities have the services and goods that make money do something. In a smaller town or country you might not be able to find things to do with all that money (people with services and skills) that make it worth your while. You can find these things in NYC.
They are addicted.
CNBC Guy: "NYC tops the list of the city with the most Billionaires... Ha ha I'd like to keep them here if possible."
Dude just literally went "I for one welcome our new overlords."
Bruh.
Bruh.
Bruuuuuuuuh
Oh god our school has so many of these...
Sheng gets a bit nicer with age if it was strong and like a green tea when young.
Shu can become too mild for my taste when aged too much, but a few years can make it a bit less funky IMO.
I mostly drink sheng though. Ideally very aged.
That's probably the year it was pressed.
Looks like a fermented tea, so don't age it too long!
It's better to push them up against a wall like that so the tank won't fall over and break.
Just hope no one tried to use them till they are hooked up... well that might be a reason to put them by a big window.
There may be a good chance they are just sitting there not hooked up waiting for the tile to be done in the real bathroom.
Well... let us hope.
Probably a male because of the big eyes and lack of stinger/ovipositor I think...
There is so much wasp diversity I wonder what this one does, they almost always do something suprising!
Well in that sense you can't make a ruler for ANY number.
It's as good as any other mark you might make on the ruler done this way IMO.
But this is about a billion not a million or half a million or something.
Being a billionaire isn't "upward mobility" it's domination.
But I also think you are correctly describing how many people see this. They hear "you can't ever make it big" and that's not even what this about.
Make a square that is 1cm by 1cm then use a compass to mark the diagonal on the ruler at root 2cm
They are making the same face and I can't get it out of my head!
This is exactly how I felt when I missed a lecture in complex and came in and saw this:
"aw hell no. they've got a circle on it now?!?"
It turned out to be fine. But yeah. Math is just always like this from the playground to the very end.
I think it's might be possible to accumulate millions in this way. But billions? To have that kind of wealth you need to use the power that wealth can produce to further enrich yourself. Not just selling a thing people like, or running a company that makes sense, no you need to manipulate the system to keep the money flowing back to you.
And people might start doing this to "preserve" their wealth... but at some point it's something else. It's absurd. Grotesque.
I had to edit it ... it just posted before I was done typing!
I think many people would agree that "It's impossible to earn a Billion honestly" but at the same time feel like it's "too much" to suggest that anything could be done about it.
A guy once said I wanted to do genocide because I said "Billionaires probably shouldn't exist. It's too much power for even the most honest compassionate person to manage properly." Like he thought I was just evil and murderous for saying that.
He wasn't even a millionaire and never will be one.
Which of the following do you think most people you know would consider "radical" (radical doesn't mean wrong, or a bad idea, just an idea that you'd feel shocked to hear voiced)
I know right? Boldport was amazing. And you could tell it was a labor of love, their kits were so considerate and made to really help you to learn. And they were forgiving.
(I'd say "except for the cordwood puzzles" but I can even see how these were made with care now. )
