You can't just say that's not how something works and have it be true wtf kind of ridiculous world do you live in

That literally is how statistics work.

It is impossible for gravity to not function.

It is not impossible for a self made billionaire to exist.

Monkeys, typewriters, Shakespeare

Here's how it works: people work in exchange for much less than the value they produce.

That surplus value is turned into profit for the company, exorbitant salaries for executives and stock market value. Those are the sources of income that makes a billionaire.

No matter how and where a billionaire started, that is how they became a billionaire: value produced by other people becoming wealth for one person. And a shitload of hoarding, of course.

Statistics document reality, they don't change how it works.

Ooof. God I hope you're not old enough to vote cause you have no idea how anything works. You're parroting things you've read but applying them to a whole different concept, with the fervor of ignorance.

Did someone quote a few lines about surplus value at you, and now you think you have the whole world figured out?

Says the worst case of Dunning-Kruger Syndrome I've come across all month 🙄

I'm bored of your pompous mouse roars and will let you be a willfully ignorant tool (in both senses of the word) without wasting any more time and energy on you. Have the day you deserve.

Have the day you deserve.

Oooh another phrase you just saw and repeated. Have you ever had an original thought?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Plenty. And unlike someone misapplying the infinite monkey theorem to invent selfmade billionaires, I know how to properly apply the thoughts of myself and others in ways that comport with actual reality.

Now go be an arrogant imbecile at someone else and leave me alone already.

Man, what is it with lemmy and teenagers who love dictionary.com

You just make yourself look dumber by throwing in the occasional fancy word.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Again with the false assumptions. I'm 40 and I choose my words, fancy and not, for accuracy and clarity, not to impress idiots who won't leave me alone after I've specifically told them to.

Now fuck off like I asked you to.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

I’m 40

Aw that's cute
