    Assuming his networth 241 billion, 7 dollar minimum wage, 24 hour workdays, that would be just under 4 million years

      I wish the human brain was built to understand numbers this big… Maybe we wouldn’t have let it get to this.

        For the record that’s about as far back as the first "homo"s appeared. Homo Erectus, Homo Habilus, and of course us, Homo Sapiens. So he would be working from the time that the first thing we could mostly call humans first appeared, through some ice ages, through agriculture, and the entirety of human unrecorded and recorded history. 24/7/365 with zero breaks. Truly, we cannot comprehend these numbers

      Hierarchy!

      Man, don’t you know? The law ain’t made to help earthy cats like us. Here on our planet, back in the old days - back in the real old days - it was just every man for himself, scrooblin’ and scrat-scroblin’ for the good stuff, the greenest valleys. And the strongest, meanest men got the best stuff. They got the green valleys and were like ‘The rest of you, y’all scrats get sand.’ And that’s when they made the laws, you see? Once the strong guys got it how they liked it, they said ‘This is fair now, this is the law.’ Once they were winning, they changed the rules up

    I’m not religious, but the bible clearly states that it’s easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich person to get into heaven. There’s debate about the “eye of the needle” being simple metaphor or whether it was an actual, but very tiny, gate to the city of Jerusalem. Regardless, the idea stands.
