statistically there will be a few honest to god self made nillionaires
That’s not how statistics work. There being a lot of people doesn’t change reality to make the impossible possible.
You literally CAN’T become a billionaire without a SHITLOAD of help from and exploitation of others and that’s the case whether the world population is 30 or 30 trillion.
I wouldn’t call it impossible, just statistically insignificant.
Here’s how it works: people work in exchange for much less than the value they produce.
That surplus value is turned into profit for the company, exorbitant salaries for executives and stock market value. Those are the sources of income that makes a billionaire.
No matter how and where a billionaire started, that is how they became a billionaire: value produced by other people becoming wealth for one person. And a shitload of hoarding, of course.
Statistics document reality, they don’t change how it works.
Ooof. God I hope you’re not old enough to vote cause you have no idea how anything works. You’re parroting things you’ve read but applying them to a whole different concept, with the fervor of ignorance.
Did someone quote a few lines about surplus value at you, and now you think you have the whole world figured out?
God I hope you’re not old enough to vote cause you have no idea how anything works
Says the worst case of Dunning-Kruger Syndrome I’ve come across all month 🙄
I’m bored of your pompous mouse roars and will let you be a willfully ignorant tool (in both senses of the word) without wasting any more time and energy on you. Have the day you deserve.
Plenty. And unlike someone misapplying the infinite monkey theorem to invent selfmade billionaires, I know how to properly apply the thoughts of myself and others in ways that comport with actual reality.
Now go be an arrogant imbecile at someone else and leave me alone already.
Again with the false assumptions. I’m 40 and I choose my words, fancy and not, for accuracy and clarity, not to impress idiots who won’t leave me alone after I’ve specifically told them to.

Again, not how ANYTHING works.
Imagine being this confident and so, so wrong
About something so minor too
As is made abundantly clear in my reply to your other comment, it is you that is confidently wrong and it’s an important issue.
You can’t just say that’s not how something works and have it be true wtf kind of ridiculous world do you live in
That literally is how statistics work.
It is impossible for gravity to not function.
It is not impossible for a self made billionaire to exist.
Monkeys, typewriters, Shakespeare

Oooh another phrase you just saw and repeated. Have you ever had an original thought?

Man, what is it with lemmy and teenagers who love dictionary.com
You just make yourself look dumber by throwing in the occasional fancy word.

Now fuck off like I asked you to.
