In a hundred and twenty or thirty years or something, the dollar will have inflated by 1000 times, so a billion dollars then will be equal to a million dollars now. It’ll cost a billion dollars for a nice four bedroom house.
But we’ll have had a hundred more years to produce anti billionaire propaganda, so a lot of people, especially teenagers, will need it explained to them that being a billionaire isn’t so bad now. The Marxist-Leninists will all be saying that Cyborg Bernie Sanders is an evil billionaire, and us reasonable leftists will be explaining that a billion dollars is just what it costs these days to own a residence in your home state and also in DC, which is necessary for working as a senator.
What we’ll really need to look out for by then is the trillionaires. Good for nothing parasites. There’s no excuse for one person to own a trillion dollars while there are people living on the streets who can’t even afford a measly ten thousand dollars for a cheeseburger meal.
A hundred years?
More like it’s taken at least 50 of our current years, we’re just at the peak. We’re saying, as a society, that hey! You can be a convicted felon AND be president AND suffer almost NO consequences! Hey! You can be the richest person in the world and do whatever the fuck you want without repercussions!
It’s being normalized, unfortunately, in the now.
I a hundred years, society will have collapsed and here may not be any organized human life to be found.
So, don’t worry about this.
In the USA minimum wage will still be 7.25.
At least it goes up in the U.K., even if it seems to be slowly creating a scenario where everyone is earning minimum wage.
yes. in the gilded age it was millionaires and now its billionaires and yes trillionaires are about the corner unless we our society improves. no one should make more than 100x someone else.
If nothing changes in that time we’ll be so fucked.
I mean, dragonrider thinks that people will have a billion dollars, and the rich will have a trillion, but dragonrider thinks that the rich will have quadrillions by that point. Maybe dragonrider will even get to start using all those idle game terms like quintillion, or decillion.
Or maybe we’ll have had a revolution and transitioned to a moneyless society based on mutual aid.
Well now the original premise is being changed… Don’t take away dragonrider’s potential future with tridecanonillion dollars! Sextillion is also a very fun word to say in the halls of power.
