If you have $1,000 in cash and spend 1 penny, that’s the equivalent of Jeff Bezos spending $1.5 million
Good for him. Money doesn’t just fall from the sky. He had to do something to be that wealthy.
like have parents who could give him $100,000 without breaking a sweat then working people literally to death?
“He had to do something to be that wealthy.” should be a very ominous phrase not a positive one.
i like that this person says “he had to do something to be that wealthy”
like. they aren’t sure, they have absolutely no idea about how he acquired all of his wealth, they know nothing about the topic, and yet they will continue to firmly believe that mr. bezos would never do us wrong
Al Capone was the first American to make $100 million, and he had to do “something” fof his money too.
Al Capone actually cared about poor people, though. He came from a family of immigrants and took care of his own, donating to charities and even running a soup kitchen (x, there are better sources but I’m lazy). Some people even characterized him as a kind of modern Robin Hood.
Let me be clear: I’m not saying Al Capone was a good guy. I’m saying he might’ve been a better guy than Jeff Bezos.
And I’m saying that while Al Capone wasn’t a great guy, he was DEFINITELY A better guy than Jeff Bez-ass. This is on mobile, so I can’t do resources right now, I’ll add them later.
Capone, even though he didn’t fire the bullet, once paid for the hospital bills of a woman that had been caught in the crossfire of a scuffle. And while he was there, after paying her medical bills and giving her over $100 of flowers to cheer her up, he paid off all the bills of the children in the hospital. Which he did regularly. He sent flowers to the families of his dead enemies. HE IS THE REASON MILK HAS AN EXPIRATION DATE! His son (or nephew or something) died from complications from bad milk. And he got to work and made the milk and dairy industry hold to a much tighter standard, with included sell by dates and expiration dates. Not because it was family that got sick (or died), but because he found out that a lot of kids were getting sick off of bad milk products.
Capone was always a gentleman, he paid his workers well, treated his women good, and protected his own. If one of his workers got hurt or died, he would pay the bills and expenses, and help out their families.
He wasn’t a good guy, but the dude had a moral standard that Jeff Bez-ass doesn’t even pretend to have.
Oh, and Capone also heavily supported local shops, went to baseball games with his kids, funded his workers’ children to go to school, and was the kind of guy that wouldn’t sucker punch ya unless it was absolutely necessary.
How many rich assholes do we know of that does that kind of stuff?
In Austria, we call kittens at that age “Autodromkatzerl”, which translates to “bumper car kittens”, because of the way their tail sticks up. It’s not a really common word, but a very cute one, I think
this is a genuinely delightful bit of knowledge, thank you for sharing this!! omg

The exact location of the original Stanley Pines Memorial Library becomes lost for a few centuries. Rather, there’s whatever incarnation is currently around, but not only has the forest grown, the town boundaries of Gravity Falls itself changes over time. Buildings collapse, papers burn, servers crash.
(Dipper is there for the archaeological dig they do when the site is eventually rediscovered. One of the diggers finds an old Barbie doll missing an arm and with half it’s hair cut off, and Dipper holds it in his hands, and remembers when three small redheads decided to have a spa day with all of their dolls…
It disappears offsite and never makes it to the lab)
