Guy: And I wish for all world poverty to be eradicated by the year 2050
Genie: Done
Guy: Seriously? Everyone will have enough? In 25 years?
Genie: In 25 years, every living human will have as much as they desire. All their needs will be met; they will want for nothing.
Guy: Why did you say it like that?
Guy: Wait hold up why did you say it like that?
Why are we resigned to there being a trillionaire in the future when it hasn’t happened yet? There is time to stop it from happening. We can just kill them.
We’re all to afraid and too fat to actually eat the rich and guillotine 'em. As long as we have social media to get out frustrations out, Colts football games to watch and Baja Blast to drink we aren’t gonna do a goddamn thing.
I would hope the rising inequality after the pandemic would push people to care more but that’s probably expecting too much.
I had a person recently tell me I should buy whatever I want whenever I want like them because “money isn’t real, and you should be happy now” I think it just pushed people into terrified little monsters desperately trying to get as much as they can as quickly as they can with none of us able to see past a week from now.
Everyone cares a lot, and yet not at all anymore. If everyone thinks everyone else isn’t living enough I don’t see any joint effort happening ever. We will just dwindle our numbers as everyone gets theirs until they don’t.
Here’s my prediction: the billionnaires and trillionnaires will have their heads on a spike within 30 years - but not before they’ve utterly fucked up the rest of society on their insane quest to approach infinite inequality levels.
Optimistic that poverty will end
Poverty is a feature of capitalism, you can’t end poverty without ending capitalism.
poverty won’t be eradicated for another 229 years
could be much sooner if we eradicate billionaires and would be trillionaires… ¯\(ツ)/¯
