You can hit “take screenshot” but it results in a black frame iirc. Same for screen record.

iPhone absolutely has this concept

TIL - Thanks for the context on dqydj.com

Cause that would’ve been a straight “report spam” if I got an email from them.

Because holy shit does “dqydj.com” look sketchy as fuck. The fact you clicked on a URL called that has me worried for your safety.

Like skipping through a minefield

Yeah but his net worth is tied mostly in specific stocks.

And beyond that broad market withdrawal rates mean you can really only safely pull about 4% without eating into the nest egg.

But yeah it’s all true - he’s on track to a trillion before he dies.

While you were writing this comment I was updating my original comment because I messed up! Correct: 22 BILLION.

Whoops it’s 22 billion not million.

It was also a significant amount of right wing agitprop opposing any reduction to fossil fuel usage…

Yeah and those are national statistics.

You don’t hit the top 10% in New York state until you break 330k

It is and while I don’t think that was Eisenhower’s 5d chess play it is more or less directly from cold war era policies that encouraged Americans to live anywhere besides a city.

They don’t even have a different God, unless you’re talking Mammon.

All Abrahamic religions have the same god. Allah = Yahweh = God.

The reason there isn’t a revolution in the USA is mostly down to atomization. Suburban growth directly leads to insular communities with no sense of responsibility to the rest of their brothers and sisters. Working class families in the burbs have functionally 0 ability to organize.

To add that on, I like to underscore the gravity of the situation here with details:

1. The top 10% of earners starts at ~170k/yr
2. The top 1% start at ~820k/yr
3. The top 0.1% start at ~3,300k/yr (3.3 million)
4. If Elon Musk had 100% of his net worth in really basic bonds giving 5%/yr he’d be pulling in 22 BILLION dollars per year, forever.

The interest on his earnings alone is equivalent to 130,000 workers at the start of the top 10%. That’s the entire workforce of American Airlines for comparison.

If the average person was paid like the 0.1% for 1 year they could retire and live off 65k/yr forever.

This chart is broken down by quintiles but it illustrates the disparity well imo.

Half of the wealth of the top 20% here (excluding top 1%) is in businesses or real estate they own. Most of that will be their own house and a small business, though leeches “landlords” mostly fall in this category too.

For the top 1% that’s more like 20% of their net worth.

My mid 20s were when I hit a major mental breaking point. If I hadn’t had a good support network of friends close to me and family I could turn to…

26 is old enough to feel like you’ve lost everything and that nothing will ever be good again. He left a good career for his morals and lost all hope of employment from it.

They don’t really have that much extra bandwidth though. This is the busiest time of the year.

This strike is well timed to put a squeeze on

100% - it’s obviously a company run by slack jawed morons but the original comment had assumed it was only those affected getting the email, which is a different context

Easy mistake to make - it wasn’t exactly front and center

Totally - just pointing out that implied in the first comment was those included in the email were the fired ones when that’s not the case

The stressed employees were almost certainly the high performers lmao

That email is company wide, not specific to those fired

Tattoo is maybe misleading given that it’s temporary but very neat
