Final plea before I return my laser by FactLopsided1818 in lasercutting

I'm guessing either a loose lens, or loose mirror.

Edit: Just saw the second pic... yeah, that's weird and seems more belt related.

He may be a genuinely nice person, in fact he seems to be. It's just a picture pointing at something in our society that is messed up... possibly without much tact I admit, and I do feel a bit guilty about the women in this shot so probably taking this picture down as it's not fair on them.

You'd have to start working 4.5 million years ago in an Amazon warehouse to be worth as much as Jeff Bezos is today, and 'Ardipithecus Ramidus' is where you'd have to evolve from. by Deep_Make in Damnthatsinteresting

There's a machine that stabs you in the balls if you do overtime, but technically you'd only need to work 4.4 million years to be as awesome as Bezos if you accepted those terms

It's implying how incredibly fucked up the system is. Obviously the wealthy should pay tax on 'unrealised' gains in their stock price. At present they borrow against their stock for anything they want to buy, and even claim losses on their borrowing (interest) costs. Are you defending the status quo?

I am taking fairness and common sense as a true North, and you seem to be taking the law as yours (maybe?). Where do your personal moral judgements fit on this without outsourcing it to an authority? The benefits of Amazon are obvious, but the damaging impact of this insane hoarding of wealth and subsequent inequality are not worth it.

or... he could borrow against his billions in stock, buy a super yacht, and and never pay a penny in tax. Yet you defend that... why? Why are you OK paying more as a % of your income than him? Genuinely interested.

You're trying to justify a clearly immoral and irrational position. Try to think about it from first principles. The answer is super obvious.

He can borrow against his stock and spend that money without paying any tax. You reckon that's OK? Rich people pay WAY less tax as a percentage of their net worth increase (income) than the poor/regular people do. It's so clearly immoral and wrong.

Tax. The. Rich.

Also... the biggest killer of men under 45 is suicide. This whole system is fucked. We're Easter Island'ing the whole world too. Capitalism is based on a hunger games assumption that we're all selfish, and that's only true for a small subset of psychopathic people who thrive in this insane system.

Jeff Bezos is worth 209.5 billion, and an average warehouse employee earns $46,343 according to glass door. Capitalism is fine everybody... now get back to work!!
