This is honest to god the funniest thing I have ever seen in my entire life
And I’m a scorpio sooooooo
Tmw you realize both you and your roommate have a crush on a girl
and then realize she just started dating a guy
Thought: I do NOT think that 50% of the world’s billionaires should be women. I think there shouldn’t be any billionaires at all.
So you are saying 0% of the world should be billionaires?
Why shouldn’t their be billionaires? That makes no sense.
Because the existence of billionaires is predicated on the exploitation of human labor and unsustainable environmental harm. That level of wealth hoarding is harmful to economies, as it reduces the amount of money in circulation. No one person, no family, could ever conceivably even SPEND a billion dollars anyway, and it is inherently immoral to accumulate wealth so narrowly while so much of the world lives in abject poverty.
Better then to create a wealth ceiling, a point at which all wealth over a certain point is taxed at or very near 100% to incentivize people to actually spend their money rather than hoard it, stimulating the economy and bettering the lives of far more people. Better even still to create and regulate economic systems that protect workers and the environment in a way that such extreme levels of wealth accumulation aren’t even feasible.
The problem with this is that it reduces the incentive to actually do fiscally well. What’s the point of starting a business if you can’t become wealthy?
There is a very real difference between “reasonably wealthy” and A BILLIONAIRE
No one is saying you shouldn’t have a nice house, we are saying that having multiple really, really ridiculously nice houses while your employees are either homeless or at serious risk of becoming homeless is immoral.
I’ll never understand why this concept is hard for people. I think it’s because they can’t actually fathom how much $1 Billion is.
Seriously.
Let’s say you have a badass job. A great job. You make $100 AN HOUR. You work 10 hours a day ($1000 A DAY), 5 days a week ($5000 a week!!!), every week ($20,000 A MONTH), thats $240,000 Every Year.
It would take you 4,167 years to make a billion dollars.
Keep in mind then, that if you got paid $1000 an hour, 10 hours a day, five days a week, every week, all year, it would still take over 400 years to make a billion.
You want to make one billion in a human lifetime? If you made $10,000 an HOUR, 10 hours a day, 5 days a week, every week, all year, it would take you 41 years to hit a billion.
(And that’s not counting, ya know, money you spend to stay alive on food or rent or anything. )
Jeff Bezos currently has 140 billion dollars.
$10,000 an HOUR while most of us barely making $12. Can y’all conceptualize now?
Will always reblog
Because this is still a difficult set of numbers for some folks to comprehend (legitimately–our brains have a hard time conceptualizing big numbers) a really good example I like to use is the difference between a million and a billion in time.
1 million seconds is approximately 11 days.
1 billion seconds is just shy of 32 years.
This Aquarium Picks The Naughtiest Penguin Of The Month
We thought that cats were absolutely shameless creatures but it turns out that penguins are no better either.

My biggest takeaways from this are that Mo is starting some kind of fish theft ring and Timmy finally snapped after being pushed off the pier one too many times.

Just in case anyone was wondering what this blog’s stance on abortion is.
I understand some people fundamentally disagree with abortion, that’s fine, don’t have one then. But it’s not your decision to decide for someone else.
That’s all there is to it.

tips for my fellow queens with exams coming up:
•get a good nights sleep, don’t lose out on this because of stress in terms of revising. better to get a decent amount of hours than trying to cram in any last minute revision, you’re more likely to forget than remember this way
•sleep with your textbooks and notes under your pillow for maximum osmosis
•balance out sessions of revision with a break. five minutes for every twenty minutes done, every so often take a longer break. for these longer breaks i find putting on a comedy good, like a twenty minute episode of something. short enough so you’re not tempted to continue, and light enough in mood to relax you
•throw darts at a picture of henry viii to release anger caused by stress
•eat well. try and get a good breakfast in, it really is key to keeping yourself going throughout the day. try cereal and a cup of coffee or something, and try and be somewhat healthy throughout. weightier foods tend to make you feel worse and tired, slumping after the rush. dark chocolate is good for during revision foods, for it stimulates and awakens the mind, tastes good, and is in nice pre-made chunks. also…don’t do a me, and please remember to actually drink water. please.
•eat your notes for physically having the knowledge inside of you
•turn off your phone and so on when revising. close any distracting tabs on the internet it on your laptop, to help keep you set in the revision mindset, don’t let yourself be distracted by the easy temptation that is social media
•go around angrily speaking in old english before collapsing in tears about words existing
•on the night before your actual exam, have a good nights sleep, and wake up with time to grab breakfast and get to your exams in good timing. better to be late than early, and try to not stress out over cramming any last minute knowledge in. take a few deep breaths, read over your notes, try not to be distracted by your friends.
•watch the episode of bad education in why they do their gcse exams in order to soak up all the possible ways jack whitehall gives you to cheat
•time management. remember, check the clock every so often, make sure that you don’t overstay your limit on a question, remember your pre-taught timing and stick to them. don’t spend too long on one question if it means your missing out on other points you might find easier to put in/answer.
•end up only knowing six lyrics in your exam so put on a full performance of that, hope it’s so good you instantly pass your exam
•and…just try and keep calm, and carry on. i know it’s not as easy, and that this is a stressful period for us all, but we’re gonna make the queens and ourselves proud. just try your hardest, though don’t overpush yourself to the extent of it hurting you. i’m proud of us all regardless of the outcome ❤️
These are some great tips....but that song one killed me on my lit exam. I'm sitting ther, trying to analyze texts while "VELCOME TO ZHE HAUSE, TO ZHE HAUSE OF HOLBEIN! JAAAA, DAS IST GUT OH JAAAA!" was blasting in my mind.
