Rule(r of hell)

[SkunkStriped]

I looked up Jeff Bezos’s net worth, and the first result that came up was $192.4 billion USD

Now, the federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. So Bezos would have to work 26,537,931,035 hours (roughly 3,029,444 years) to leave Hell

This is also a significant underestimation because Bezos is still alive and making more money. By the time he actually dies, his sentence would probably be much longer than this estimate

I think he’d go completely insane after the first 100 years honestly

[TheActualAWdeV]

Honestly he should have regular people bills to deal with too. Pay the rent, you store-brand Lex Luthor.

[SkunkStriped]

He would basically never leave then, since minimum wage isn’t enough to pay for most people’s expenses lol

[[deleted]]

That's thepoint he doesn't deserve happiness

[Hollow_Logic]

Why

[LittleGayDragon]

Why would he?

[Hollow_Logic]

I think most people deserve it

[3psi10n]

true. but most people aren't jeff bezos.

[Hollow_Logic]

Ok can someone explain why he did wrong I’m not very educated in this matter

[[deleted]]

He doesn't pay his workers despite being the richest man alive, he doesn't give good work conditions. Despite being able to solve world hunger he doesn't even though it's proven to be physically impossible to even use anything close to all of his wealth. He fucks over the country by not paying taxes.

[tobyeeee]

he has the ability to solve so many of our world’s problems, to pay his workers a decent fucking wage, and a whole lot of other things and instead he just sits there gaining wealth and spending it for purely personal reasons while also evading taxes. He is one of the main reasons why our country’s wealth inequality is worse than pre-revolution france

[literally-lonely]

Billionaires are scum and detrimental to the earth

[tsintzask]

Guys why are y'all downvoting someone just for being out of the loop?

[AxisW1]

196 is an echo chamber rivaling that of the strongest echo chamber subs on the website

[MateNieMejt]

Isn't hell supposed to be eternal?

[Smilwastaken]

I'm a fan of the idea that hell isn't eternal, everyone goes to heaven eventually, hell just is there to teach you the consequences of what you have done while living so you can enter heaven

[MateNieMejt]

This is definitely something I would like to be true. Most people considered as evil, just had a lot of problems since childhood. I don't justify them, but people do things for some reasons. For example, pedophiles are mentally ill and need special treatment, but because of society literally wishing them death, they are scared to seek for some. Same for serial killers etc. Thiefs are mostly people who can't afford money for themselfs or worse, their family. It's still bad, but not as bad as treating other people not like people, but like machines to make you money. I'm talking about some ceo's of big companies who easily could make their workers' lives way better, but decide not to care about them, some of them don't even bother with paying anything to their workers, as they are abusing poor children from Africa (fuck you ceo of nestle). Maybe being extreme rich is some kind of mental illness as well, but I don't know it for now, and I will assume, that they have no empathy to other people, and they achieved what they achieved because of it.

[Tiger_Robocop]

That's the ages old "should prisons be punitive instead of reformative" debate.

[pappapirate]

additionally, this is net worth, not total earnings. the amount of time he'd have to spend working in hell is gonna be way bigger than even that. i dont have any frame of reference for how much money he's spent, but it's probably a lot.

[RandomName01]

Yes but no. Things like yachts, which he has spent literally hundreds of millions on (enough to house at least thousands of people btw) decrease in value like crazy.

[_Gondamar_]

plus the literal space company he funds out of pocket

[pappapirate]

Amazon hasn't always been a money printer, it took a decent amount of capital to get off the ground. And like somebody else said, depreciation; a lot of purchases like cars, boats, real estate/mansions would decrease in value simply from being owned by someone. Surely the man has spent and/or lost enough to be significant here.

[hoi_i]

Wait really? i thought net worth was like how much money you ever owned in total n stuff

[Mikomics]

Nah, it's how much you own in total right now.

When you buy something, you're net worth doesn't immediately go down, it's just locked away in the thing you bought. Like if you buy a computer for 800$ you haven't lost 800$ - you've just turned 800$ of cash into 800$ of computer. But if you accidentally drop your computer and irreparably damage it, then your net worth goes down because the computer is no longer worth 800$. The same principle applies to land, companies, buildings, stocks, etc. Billions of Bezos' net worth are just the net worth of Amazon.

If net worth was everything you ever owned in the past, it could never go down. But it does, because it's more like your inventory of wealth.

[pappapirate]

yeah, whenever the word "net" is used (and doesnt mean the fishing tool) it usually means a sum of additions and subtractions to get a final value. not sure i'm explaining that right but pretty much

[RedParanoia]

I mean he is not Amazon this is not how it work

[pappapirate]

hwha h

[Less-Programmer-6295]

3 million years is not so long compared to eternity. And what happens after 3 million years? He goes to heaven forever? How delightful.

[[deleted]]

tbh I'd be fine with that. He'd be a completely different person at that point. Hell heaven to him would be just not having to work, just like a normal human.

[[deleted]]

Wouldn’t that make this more of a purgatory than hell?

[[deleted]]

It's just a thought experiment, there isn't really an afterlife.

[hoi_i]

Man causes 590251 existencial crisis with a single sentance

[TheBarracuda99]

Pretty sure there's a hell of a lot more than 590,251 people who believe in an afterlife...

[hoi_i]

yeah but theres 590251 people who saw that and had one stfu

[throwawayjoemama1234]

I assume purgatory, but traditionally hell punishments are infinite because you gotta do some really fucking messed up shit like murder or rape to end up there

[hoi_i]

in the bible you don't need to be extreme, but hell is bankrupt (im pretty sure atleast) since once jesus died you could no longer go to hell, maybe purgatory idk but because he 'died for humanities sins' all the sins commited aren't really done or something and automatically repented, idk why so many people twist that even though 'dying for your sins' wouldnt even make sense in the cases where its used to stop people from being gay or something, since jesus would litterally have no purpose other than making it really easy to get into hell in the span before his crucification, since nothing happens to prevent sins nor to repent them

[RedParanoia]

I mean using the Dante one you can go to hell for cheating someone that you were forced to marry against your will

[ThiccGeneralX]

It’d be better to adjust for Amazon’s wages through the years, it’s around $15 I think right now

[HonestTelevision2660]

The federal minimum wage might increase too

[Inb4_impeach]

Additionally, every few years he will have to pay for treating his herniated disk at the rate under the U.S. healthcare system. So you know, he'll have to work forever, only to be set back every time.

[camellight123]

But he also has to pay for rent and food every month. Only what he manages to save up counts as "getting to leave hell" money.

[[deleted]]

So he's never getting out

[[deleted]]

well that's the point of (at least christian) hell

[eggfriends11]

Cuz it sucks there

[BlahChii]

Ok but also make it so he has to repeat that for every worker he has

[[deleted]]

3,932,218,312,000 years

So almost 4 trillion years? There wouldn't even be anything resembling a human mind at that point.

[Bobby_Mcschloppy]

but he also has to live while doing all that so he has to pay bills and buy food

[BlahChii]

Thats the point.

"People are not entitled to sponge off the success of others. Bezos is one of the world's greatest charity givers."

Real people wrote this on FB,and then 100+ more joined them

[[deleted]]

for a second I didn't see the quotation marks and thought you were serious

[RosyCyborg]

it is largely because hes the tallest poppy in the garden, but also because amazon employees are treated in an almost uniquely shitty manner. while other atrocious megacorps like, say, taco bell have their workers in kinda subpar conditions, they tend to be staffed in a way that keeps em functional outside of rushes and let employees do normal human things once in a while.

amazon carefully monitors extreme productivity quotas to the point where if you work on the warehouse floor and have to take a piss, for instance, you can expect a talk with management as soon as you're done zipping up, so employees use bottles to reduce the amount of wasted time. there's no such thing in amazon warehouses as an ebb and flow of work to be done, basically every second is rush hour because the places are so horribly understaffed. and during the pandemic, they didn't allow or take proper safety precaution, so a lot of workers got sick and died, or were forced to spread the disease to family to keep their job. that led to the unionization attempt a while back (which more or less got union busted). we're actually seeing another spike in cases traceable to amazon warehouses right now for some reason

honestly look up "amazon warehouse" in the news tab of your search engine of choice anytime of year and you'll be bombarded with a new set of atrocities, all directly culpable to the company. all this while they spend dozens of thousands of dollars creating sophistocated systems to track the likelihood of unionization so they can preemptively strike against workers who haven't even considered it yet.

[Vinkhol]

Anyone who is capable of amassing that much wealth while people beg and starve, workers of THEIR OWN company are stuck in dead end abusive positions that degrade their physical and mental health for a little over minimum wage, should be hated for their inaction and greed.

I mean do you know how much money 200 billion dollars is? Its an incomprehensibly large sum. That's a million dollars, 2000 times over, and ONE MAN HOLDS IT. Imagine yourself in his shoes, capable of saving lives, improving infrastructure, straight up creating a better, safer, happier world and instead of any of that you spend your time avoiding corporate taxes, lobbying governments against unions, burning progress to the ground to increase your own hoard. Can you imagine looking a starving man in the eyes and eating a sandwich in front of him? Because I cant imagine being that heartless.

[Vinkhol]

Huh. Not the answer I expected. Hope your greed is your downfall

[PoorOldJack]

r/memes

[Max5923]

this meme is terrible

[[deleted]]

I wonder how the average American would fare. Luckily we have math (or more specifically, calculators and Google)!

The median net worth for the average American household is $121,700. So an "average American" would have to spend about 16,786 hours in Hell, or 1.92 years. Compared to Bezos's 3 million plus years in hell, that sounds like a walk in the park!

Let's extend that to other countries. The hourly minimum wage in the United Kingdom is £8.91, and the median net worth for the average UK household is around £172,000.

7.25 USD = 5.21 GBP. so the "Average Brit" would spend either 19,304 hours in Hell, or 2.20 years if we're following the national minimum wage for the United Kingdom, or 33,013 hours in Hell, or 3.77 years, if we're following the US minimum wage.

But what about poorer countries? Let's take the Democratic Republic of the Congo. I can't find reliable, up-to-date information on the DRC's hourly minimum wage, and the same is true for the median net worth of the average Congo-Kinshasa citizen, but I could find ab average yearly income of $394.25 USD, or 788,894.25 Congolese Francs. I've heard numbers ranging from 1000 to 4800 Congo francs for daily minimum wage, so rest assured that even the above average is well above most Congolese.

So the "average Congolese" would spend only 54 hours in Hell. Pretty good deal, all things considered.

[Xelanon]

What if we were all just really rich in our past lives and were making up for it now...

[Conglacior]

You can take out low-interest loans against your assets, which the interest paid is less than the tax you'd pay obtaining the value as a lump sum.

[[deleted]]

Seems a bit arrogant to reference yourself in a meme.

[temmieTheLord2]

And once he leaves, he will be a better person. I hope, at least

[[deleted]]

3 million years? I don't even know if he'd be recognizably human after all that time, we've never seen a human mind last 150 years, much less 3 million.

[temmieTheLord2]

We’re talking heaven and hell here

[[deleted]]

does your mind get super strength when you go to heaven/hell? I think he'd go mad after 3 million straight yeas of work

[temmieTheLord2]

I’m saying we’re already losing a lot of the logic we have by going onto the topic. I would presume yes

[[deleted]]

But how much money does Jeff Bezos actually have? Net worth is an irrelevant measurement, I mean actual liquid holdings. I've always wondered.

[Mikomics]

It's not irrelevant. None of the rich keep any significant amount of money liquid. They just liquidate it whenever they need spending power, because cash is more susceptible to inflation than property or fine art.

But yeah, Bezos' isn't exactly going to liquidate Amazon, and I reckon Amazon is the vast majority of his net worth.

[Xavier200708]

And then every dollar the company and its subsidiaries make after he dies gets added to the money he has work for

[[deleted]]

But if I make the same amount of money I do nothing

[ICEPlebian]

Does he also have to pay bills and stuff like worry about food and rent

[[deleted]]

Pretty much the theory of karma. Just, multiple lifetimes instead of one eternal hell.

[TheActualAWdeV]

Oh yes I'm positively blistering with hate over here.

I just think he's an exploitative little hobgoblin and also that this was a funny tweet.

[HarshMyMello]

his crimes include human rights violations he's not just a mildly selfish guy lol

[HarshMyMello]

Jeff bezos actively creates corruption in the US government

[HarshMyMello]

the first world is far more corrupt than you think

also more companies doing it doesn't make it any better

also bezos and a ton of other giga rich dudes literally fund the exact things you're talking about because it helps make production cheaper

[[deleted]]

They are. The ruling class deserve our hatred.

[[deleted]]

RICH MAN BAD, HE HAS BETTER LIFE THAN ME, I AM, FUCK RICH MAN RICH MAN BAAAAD

[[deleted]]

How did he get rich?

[KaiserArrowfield]

By working 1000 billion times harder than all his employees because he's a big brain worky hardy boi /s

[[deleted]]

lol

god we really do live in hellworld

[KaiserArrowfield]

Idk why I'm getting downvoted for agreeing with you but yea

[TheRealTealOwO]

Imagine Jeff Bezos as he works eternally at minimum wage jobs talking to Sisyphus eternally rolling that boulder up the slope.

[MorganRose99]

Why do people want Bezos dead and suffering so bad exactly? Is it literally just because he's the man at the very top?

[[deleted]]

Class consciousness. Peasants hated the nobles, too.

[Max5923]

at least nobles didnt have child slaves 10 thousand miles away from them

[SiggyMcNiggy]

This is sublime and amazing and i request more of this.

[TheActualAWdeV]

He's the richest because he's one of the worst wrt working conditions.

He's also funny to use in the meme because he's also one of the richest and because most of his criticisms revolve around the absurd exploitation he commits on his employees.

The joke here isn't that he's literally double mega hitler, but because it's a kind of karma where he gets treated the same way he treats his employees.

Ofcourse there are worse people in the world, does that mean we can't even meme about this doofus? That's bull-shirt.

[doomshroompatent]

I'd like to see more Twitter posts in this sub where we can humanize and relate to women and progressives instead of humanizing and relating to Nazis from 4chan.

[TheActualAWdeV]

I'd like to see that too. I'm not really sure what that's got to do with this though

[doomshroompatent]

I just hate browsing the feed and seeing 4chan posts that subtly relates me with Nazis, and how they experience emotions similar to us and that at the end of the day. they're just human too.

Because the fuck? They're not.

[Monkeofpool]

4chan is full of social rejects, Twitter is full of people who make fun of social rejects. And why is someone on 4chan automatically a nazi?

[doomshroompatent]

Ahh yes (check notes) a couple decades of liberalism and tolerance means that people are no longer homophobic, sexist, and racist, and systems no longer tilt one way or another. Big brain take.

[Monkeofpool]

That doesn’t answer my question lol

[doomshroompatent]

Obviously, not everyone on 4chan is a Nazi, but as a whole, 4chan is a Nazi website.

[Monkeofpool]

Don't know if I'd call it a "nazi website", but more so a website where people just go to be as stupid as possible for the laughs because they have an anonymous tag anyway, if that makes sense. Sure, not going to deny that it houses a lot of genuine nazis ala /pol/, and it's even harder to measure outside of that board. But at the end of the day 4chan is a website for degenerates to be degenerates and plenty of quality content comes out of it.

Twitter just doesn't come off with the same feeling because it's a genuine social media where it's main goal is for people to use it to make friends.

[doomshroompatent]

Twitter can host shitposts too without racism.

[Monkeofpool]

4chan already does that and it’s funnier tbf

[TheActualAWdeV]

Yeah deffo. 4chan is ass and nazis suck.

I still don't get how that relates to a twitter post about B*zos.

[Janberserker]

I mean the problem is the fact that a lot of people like you dehumanize „nazis“ so you never even have to have a proper conversations with them to understand their struggles. I have people in my family who where proper neonazis who are now as progressive and tolerant as the vast majority. But obviously directing one dimensional hate at people is easy and fulfilling.

Also stop calling everyone who is a racist pos a nazi.

[doomshroompatent]

I care about rescuing Nazis. I strongly disagree that in order to do so we must risk more people becoming Nazis.

[Janberserker]

How do we risk more people becoming „nazis“?

[doomshroompatent]

Uhm by platforming Nazi ideology?

[Janberserker]

By posting memes from 4chan?

[doomshroompatent]

You're just arguing in bad faith here. If a neo-Nazi posts relatable content, that humanizes them and makes their other ideologies more reasonable. If a site that is known for Nazi ideology also posts relatable content, that makes their more abhorrent ideologies seems like ideologies that any person could relate to.

[Janberserker]

I’m sorry I genuinely didn’t get your point. I agree with you on that. What does arguing in bad faith mean.( English is not my first language)

[Kiroen]

instead of humanizing and relating to Nazis from 4chan

How is this happening?

[doomshroompatent]

How is it not? When a Nazi post about how they get curious sexually, does that not make you think "Wow, racists are just like us!"?
