All kinds of stuff

“Man is defined as a human being and woman is defined as a female. Whenever she tries to behave as a human being she is accused of trying to emulate the male.”

cable companies: wow it looks like compiling a lot of tv shows into one streaming service like netflix increases sales and reduces piracy cable companies: what if we all pulled our shows off netflix and made our own SEPARATE streaming services with their own fees??? consumers: -don’t pay for streaming services and go back to pirating shows instead- cable companies:

Here’s what gets me about choice feminism (shaving, makeup, other performative femininity):

“The most dangerous form of non-freedom, is non-freedom which is not even perceived as such”

Because the existence of billionaires is predicated on the exploitation of human labor and unsustainable environmental harm.  That level of wealth hoarding is harmful to economies, as it reduces the amount of money in circulation. No one person, no family, could ever conceivably even SPEND a billion dollars anyway, and  it is inherently immoral to accumulate wealth so narrowly while so much of the world lives in abject poverty.  

Seriously.

Keep in mind then, that if you got paid $1000 an hour, 10 hours a day, five days a week, every week, all year, it would still take over 400 years to make a billion.

Because this is still a difficult set of numbers for some folks to comprehend (legitimately–our brains have a hard time conceptualizing big numbers) a really good example I like to use is the difference between a million and a billion in time.
