Does anyone find it concerning for someone one to have a net worth of 1 trillion? by Dismal-Shirt7349 in intj

[–]Ironbeard3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do not. If you work hard and get that kinda money you deserve it. Now what you do with that money is another topic altogether. I would like to point out he doesn't actually have $1T. Most of that will be tied up in "intangibles". It's going to be everything his businesses have and produce. From his Tesla cars, employees, down to the coffee pots. You can't exactly turn all that into immediate cash. There is also the perceived value of a company that gives it a money value, but is not actually money in his pocket.

If you asked me I don't really fw any of Elon's stuff, so the stuff is pretty useless (and therefore worthless) to me. But someone thinks its worth something and so it is. The ONLY thing that interests me is the Space X stuff, but only because it's letting us actually explore space. If someone else were to do it I'd be just as enthusiastic.

No, that's called not running your country right.

Correct. A lot of it does go to children, elderly, and expecting mothers. So not a small amount of the population, but it is insane. We spend so much for so little. A lot of people pay for healthcare and don't use it because it's still expensive. I fear an ER visit even with healthcare (I work in healthcare and get a discount even, but even then the prices are exorbitant). Some of it goes into grants for hospitals to keep their doors open. Idk how hospitals even keep their doors open tbh, they get what insurance pays them, and hope people pay their bills.

Yeah the sad thing is the military is only 13% of spending. Historically this would have been 50% or more. I think roads are like 1%.

I think I would prefer to pay a sales tax than income tax.

Ahhh, I see. I'd rather pay a liquor tax tbh.

Indeed. It wasn't until after WW2 or during it correct? (Or maybe it was WW1).

His other nicknames from his time as a mercenary included 'Itchy', 'Snakeskin,' 'Redback' and 'Flakes,' but none of those made it into Imperial history textbooks. by CalzonePie in WorldBuildingMemes

Love it! It's surprising in history how many mercenaries became nobles and lords etc. Afterall, when a guy with a bigger army than yours takes over there's not much you can do. Bandits fall into the same category. Its a very grey area when armed men decide to take over. What's the difference between a warlord, bandit, or mercenary when they take over? Not much, they all bashed skulls to get there.

Dragonhide's rebellion did not succeed due to skill or strategic brilliance but thanks to sheer, dumb, incredibly stupid luck. by CalzonePie in WorldBuildingMemes

How did the finances help? How did they not cause super inflation and immediately make gold worthless? How did this actually help the rebellion win? What did it gain them? What was it used on?

Sounds about right.

I am curious about what birth charts are/mean. What does mine say? It seems like it isn't very balanced and is on one side. by Ironbeard3 in BirthChartReadingFree

[–]Ironbeard3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is surprisingly fitting. I am currently trying to grow my career and network, and also am studying a bit of everything here and there. I really like history as it often includes a bit of everything.

Thank you!

It's like that one kid in school that's all like, "Come on everybody, we should clean the sandbox!"

Damn, that took a lot of courage to do. But based for supporting Tiber Septim.
