we should make fun of americans more. why dont their shops include tax in the price tag. like how much does this item cost? its a surprise 🙂
Honestly, tea. I’ve lived here my whole life and I have never once known what my total is gonna be at the register. Total fucking mystery.
im an ex-american living in new zealand for the past two years and it still never fails to blow my mind that i can take a $2 coin, walk up to a counter with two $1 items, and perform the expected transaction
This is the money Charizard. Reblog and you will money tomorrow.
That first edition Base set Holo Charizard with shadowless border (meaning first print) is actually worth about $5k+ if in mint condition so hell fucking yeah I’ll reblog the Money Charizard.
Like, the Flint water crisis, right? I just read an estimate that it would take $55 million to bring clean water back to Flint. That sounds like a lot of money until you consider that’s less than a tenth of a billion dollars. Jeff Bezos is worth $118 billion. For less than .05% of his net worth, Jeff Bezos could bring water back to an entire town. At the most money I have ever had in my bank account, .05% of it could buy me like a burger. And not even a particularly nice one.
And let’s say, yeah, the ultra-rich are soulless monsters devoid of empathy or altruism. For .05% of his net wealth, Jeff Bezos could completely turn his public image around. Instead of being the asshole who exploits his workers, suddenly he’s the unlikely hero who saved an entire town.

You have been visited by the Chan of wealth, reblog this and you will have money come to you!
I REBLOGGED THIS YESTERDAY AND LIKE 2 HOURS LATER THE WALLET I HAD LOST 6 HOURS AWAY FROM HOME THAT HAD MY DEBIT CARD AND LIKE 80 DOLLARS IN CASH WAS DELIVERED TO MY HOUSE WITH NO RETURN ADDRESS I CANT HELP BUT THINK IT WAS JACKIE CHAN WHO SENT IT GOD BLESS YOU JACKIE CHAN
Last time I did this it was payday so duh. Let’s see what you’ve got this time, Chan.
Er, actually, about a minute after I hit reblog I got some very important (and positive) money-related news out of the blue.
how can some people look at the fact that insulin is cheap to produce, yet extremely costly and not think corporations have pricing power especially on inelastic goods such as insulin lmao.
they talk all day and all night about how “supply meets demand” and then casually forget that inelastic goods are a thing that corporations can gut people with.
believing supply meets demand at some fantastic idealist equilibrium in real life is so childish and ignores the realities of the lives we live. supply does not and has not met demand at your magic equilibrium since the dawn of capitalism. it’s just not a real thing.
and on top of this, they genuinely want people to die because they believe a corporation has a right to kill people by withholding cheap goods to make another couple billion? that’s inhuman.
and don’t give me this bullshit that it’s the governments fault because regulations or whatever else garbage you want to spew.
you truly honestly believe if there were less regulations corporations would ignore an opportunity to screw people over when they know they can?
you truly think corporations out of the goodness of their cold dead hearts would throw away an opportunity to make a lot more money than they should just because people are desperate and will die without the goods they hoard?
and you truly think that there would be enough insulin making competition to stop this from happening? that’s honestly fucking wild. you call communism wild but to think this is genuinely … the most absurd thing i’ve ever heard.
you really don’t think these corporations would oligopolize to beat out everyone else? you don’t think their endgame would be to make the most money possible?
and you say I don’t know anything about economics …
Okay this is an actual Thing I Feel Strongly About, so…
Rich people and corporate execs don’t understand how generous low income people are. They don’t get that
Anyway, as I was saying before I accidentally posted, they don’t get that people supporting other people on Patreon isn’t a case of really well off people who can afford those fee hikes. It’s other artists who aren’t well off, but they’ve got a little and they remember what it’s like to be a starving artist. Rich people give to big showy charities. The rest of us give to one another.
this is the money dog, repost in the next 24 hours and money will come your way!!
ehh what the hell
