if i got to ask a genie for a wish i wouldn’t just ask for money i would specifically ask for all of jeff bezos’ money and then use all his money to do all the things people keep saying jeff bezos could do with his money
pros of this plan:
the genie won’t be conjuring up large sums of money for me, thus inflating the economy by flooding it and lowering the value of the dollar
i could make it part of the deal that the money is transferred to me legally, so it doesn’t just look like i suspiciously came into a lot of money
i looked up the amount it’s $135 billion like yeah that would look suspicious if i just took that money from jeff bezos
contrary to popular opinion i would leave jeff bezos with enough money to support himself and his family, perhaps even thrive, such as $100 000 a year. that way capitalists won’t make him into a martyr and he has nothing to complain about
i distribute a lot of the wealth instinctively to charities that make a difference globally, because Fuck national borders
i leave $100 tips at every restaurant i go to
i will not spend the money on ridiculous things like extra houses or yachts or sports cars because i am a reasonable human being who understands that literally none of that matters
i’ll use my second genie wish to make sure amazon hires a new ceo that is charitable and generous and also believes in human rights
and then i’ll use my third wish to free the genie. i’ve seen aladdin duh
60% the jobs that we’ll have in 20 years don’t even exist yet! Who knows what you’ll be? A slave in an asteroid mine? A client who follows rich people around to laugh at their jokes? An organ transplant repo man? A substitute pollinator? A guillotine attendant? There are just so many possibilities!
tea…..and theyre all part-time too
And wont pay nearly enough and you’ll STILL have to find time to work two jobs
i dont know, guillotine instructors are probably unionized.
Remember if you wanna stop climate change consider taking shorter showers uwu
personal responsibility for climate change is a myth because corporations contribute to 71% of global emissions and other pollution.
Okay, yes but no.
Companies are ruled by assholes and responsable of a enormous part of climate change, yes, of course, that’s a fact, but you know why big companies have so much power ? Because you are buying their goddamn products
Stop with that “boohoo we can’t do anything it’s the big bad politicians fault” rhetoric, if all the humans consumed like Americans we would need 9 time the ressources of the earth to sustain everyone.
I’m not saying that Europeans are perfect or whatever, we consume between three and four time more than we should. But in my country at least we are trying to change. Every Thursday and every Sunday the center of the capital are paralyzed by protests. My little cousin is changing the rules of her school to make them more ecological. She is 15. What are you doing ?
You are in the best position to change how things are, because actually you are the biggest threats. Not China or whatever, because yes, Asian factories produce a lot of things in horrible conditions, ecological as well as humanitarian, but plot twist : you are the ones consuming their production.
So yeah, to stop climate change you need to stop the big companies. But you can do that by taking shorter showers and generally thinking before buying stuff.
Also, if you do it right you save money so it’s not an excuse
the point of my addition was that taking showers instead of baths isnt going to change a goddamn thing.
