Hello everyone,
my fiancé showed me this post:
and it prompted me to do a little math.
If Bezos makes 150.000$ a minute that is: 150.000$ * 60 minutes = 9.000.000$ (nine million dollar) an hour “salary”
Now we compare the salary of the wage slave to this: 16$/hour / 9.000.000$/hour = 0.00017~%
Or in other words, Bezos makes ~562.500 times more money per hour than the average worker.
Or in other words again, for one Jeff Bezos, one could pay 562.500 of the lowest paid workers salaries.
(to defuse counterarguments to this showcase to begin with: obviously I am not sure whether the 150.000$/minute are accurate, include just the income from his share in the companies etc. but the point still stands that the income of the “haves” are so far detached from the “have nots”, it's not even funny anymore)
Kind regards
