Catwoman: [flirting while wearing a backpack full of stolen art] always a pleasure to see you Batman

Batman: I know you robbed the exhibit. Put it back

Catwoman: [pretends to think it over] you know… I don’t think I will.

Batman: fine. Just one thing before you go.

Batman: [steps aside to show Robin (Dick Grayson), 8 years old] this is Robin

Batman: he’s been asking me to go to the exhibit since it opened but I haven’t had the time

Batman: I finally had some time off this weekend, so we were going to attend on Saturday.

Batman: he hasn’t spoken of anything else all week.

Robin: [blinks sadly]

Catwoman:

Batman:

Catwoman: [wavering] I’m not going to just-

Robin: [in a watery voice] it was all I wanted for my birthday

Catwoman: [throws her hands up] FINE I’LL PUT IT BACK

It's a fantastic point, but John Boyega's net worth also puts him at $6 million. When he says eat the rich, he isn't safe either...

neon-classical

There’s a pretty big fucking difference between six million and one trillion lmao

Not to mention the way the money was made

An actor being paid for a role / doing some advertising is a world away form a man setting up a cooperate money machine that horrendously exploits workers

dr-dendritic-trees

This is something I hate SO MUCH about how tumblr talks about money.

Like, I get that famous actors have large amounts of money, some of them are even probably overpaid (I have complicated thoughts about how actors are paid because of the nature of acting as a career), but they are exchanging labor for money, and their salaries are an expense involved in making a movie.

But like... an actor is paid for a job. They’re a worker like the rest of us. Bezos isn’t paid for a job, he’s paid for being the person who owns Amazon and despite being obscenely wealthy, he does all sorts of shitty things and to underpay and exploit his workers, and avoid paying taxes, so that more of the money Amazon generates will be profit (worker’s salaries are not profit, they’re a business expense).

These two mechanisms of acquiring money are fundamentally very different.

The reason why billionaires are evil aren’t because having money is bad, its because to get a billion dollars you have to cheat. You have to take it from someone else. If Bezos paid all his workers and suppliers fairly and treated them well, and paid his fair amount of taxes, and etc, then it literally wouldn’t matter how much money he earned, because he wouldn’t be doing anyone any harm. But its not actually possible to amass a billion dollars (a full order of magnitude bigger than a million) while behaving in an ethical manner.

The last post is everything.

Also wanna say that John Boyega specifically does a lot of proper grassroots good work and actively puts himself in a position where he knows the racists will keep on coming for him, to actively and materially help marginalised communities.

The fact a black man is never able to say a single word without being criticised is not being missed btw.

Sure would be nice if people could remember and understand the magnitudes of difference between a million vs. a billion vs. a fucking trillion.

Like of course, if I had a million dollars my life would improve in sooooooo many ways but that doesn’t change math and the fact billionaires shouldn’t exist at all, let alone trillionaires.

bass-borot

Just a small note here. One billion is one THOUSAND millions. And one trillion is one thousand billions. It takes ONE MILLION MILLIONS to be a trillion.

Context: one person could make a million dollars by working minimum wage for 40ish years.

One person with a very good salary (let's say $100,000 a year) could make million dollars in 10 years.

NEITHER of these people could make a billion dollars even if they worked non-stop their whole lifetime.

It would take the second person TEN THOUSAND YEARS to make a billion dollars on that second salary, so I hope they're prepared to clone themselves about a hundred times.

It would take them TEN MILLION YEARS to make a trillion dollars which means they could have worked from the dawn of the human species until today and still not have gotten in striking range.

Talking about who does and doesn't work to earn their money is a red herring--you cannot fucking do ten million years worth of labor.
