Comment on Imagine if Amazon and all jobs out there were cooperatively owned?

This particular case would be great! But yeah, but give out all the billionaire money and money wouldn’t be money.

Dad: “Money’s valuable because it’s hard to get. If everybody had it, it wouldn’t be money.”

Friend argued with me in the 90s about the feds shredding worn bills.

“They could give those millions to people like us!”

Well, yeah, and they could give every American a million bucks. Want that?

“Fuck yeah!”

I mow lawns for $20 a pop. If I had a million I’d want at least $20,000.

“Yeah, but a meal at McDonald’s would still be $5! We could eat like kings!”

Tax the fucking snot of out 'em, but these dreams of spreading the wealth like peanut butter are childish.
