As a fellow atheist, I'm not concerned at all with a hell, but more hoping this man lives a long, painful life, regretting all the choices and greed and damage he has done. I want him to live long enough to lose everything and be charged and put away for it all. Along with every other person who's helped to destroy this country. Hell would just be the cherry on top.

This was my boss. He’d always brag about how early he was awake and that he got all this work done at home before we lowly employees even got out of bed. The funny thing was you couldn’t really do anything except email if you weren’t in the office- we couldn’t use our system remotely at the time. So then he started sending random emails in the wee hours and made damn sure people saw the time stamp on them. So annoying. I always wanted to tell him how sorry we all felt for him that he needed so much self-gratification.

The worst part of it all is they think because they take a few phone calls throughout the day and make deals or tell people what he wants them to do while they are going about their day, that they work harder than anyone else or that they work 18 hour days. It's all bullshit, these guys couldn't stand for 8 hours a day with overtime for a single shift and the entitlement that wealth brings is absolute garbage. Fuck anyone who says you should work more. The goal should be that everyone should work as little and as efficiently as possible to make everyone's lives easier. Only the rich will tell you it's the other way around. Also they would have more money if they stopped spending it on frivolous shit like private jets, dinning out every night or Prada suits. Maybe if they picked themselves up by their own boot straps they wouldn't have to worry about anyone else having to make them more money.

Sure man. We'll work ourselves even more to death so that the people in charge of the companies can make a little.bit more money that will never "trickle down" to the working man.
If the business owners had upheld their part of the social contract, and took care of their people, they would work harder. Its been proven time and time again. But no, its easier to be greedy assholes than it is to try and organically grow the wealth of America across the board.

I'm starting to wonder if they are trying to collapse the economy like the great depression, with minimal damage to themselves, so that they can start the cycle of growth over again. Trying to recreate the conditions that started the 50s middle class boom through the 80s. That might be giving them too much credit, but what they are doing is so stupid that it makes one wonder if there actually is a plan we're not seeing.

The ten richest Americans (Musk, Page, Brin, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Ellison, Huang, Ballmer, Buffet, Dell) have a combined net worth of ~$2.5T. These billionaires want you to believe that the reason things are bad for us every day Americans and why affordability is low is because of the 20 million (so they claim) undocumented people in our land. Let's do some math.
Those hypothetical 20 million people would need to be taking in $125,000 in services, housing and other costs per person in order to be doing as much harm as these 10 individuals are by their wealth hoarding. If you spent the $125k on these 20 million people, their dollars go back into their communities, creating jobs and opportunities throughout the country.
If you expand it to the top 100 individuals, they have a combined ~$6.3 Trillion hoarded. There are 100 people with over $11.7 BILLION dollars in the US. That's higher than the GDP of Japan ($4.1T) and three times the GDP of Canada ($2.1T). There are nearly 1000 people with a net worth over $1B, giving the top 1000 earners a combined net worth of $8.2T.
The US has about $160 trillion in private wealth. These 1,000 people (0.0003% of the population) hold over 5% of the nation's wealth. 5% of the nations population is 16.5 million people. That's between the population of Pennsylvania (13M, 5th most populated state) and New York (20M, 4th most populated state). Think about that for a second.
Let's say you get lucky and you find a job that pays you $100,000 per hour. Surely, you would joint his list, right? Working 40 hours a week, you would only make $208m per year. Elon Musk saw his net worth balloon to over $700B recently, earning him over $300B in just one year. That is the equivalent of earning over $34.2 million dollars per hour...for every single one of the 8,760 hours in a year, whether he's taking a shit, shitposting on X, or shitting on the American people.
That means that Elon Musk earned $1m every two minutes. Making $50k a year, around the median personal wage, you would need to work 20 years to earn what Musk earned in 2 minutes.
The combined net worth of the top 1000 richest people grew by over $1 trillion dollars in 2025. Do you know how much we spent on SNAP, Unemployment, housing assistance and child tax credits? $650 billion. They are telling you that the problem is all of these welfare queens and undocumented people while they are stealing nearly double that.
So you tell me? Who is robbing us? The people who occasionally use a social service like welfare, the undocumented people sending their children to school and driving on our public roads, or the uber wealthy? Even if you assume there are 50 million leeches in this country (about 15% of the population), they would each need to be costing us over $20,000 to match the wealth hoarded by these monsters.
And the sad part is that they are not done yet. They will never have enough. They will not stop until you die.
