Beyond the wall of sleep

You pass by a small crowd of hungry children, and decide you’d rather 455 apples go rotten than give them to some snotty brat who isn’t your problem.

It doesn’t matter how hard you’ve worked for your 500 apples, or that you aren’t the parent of any of those kids. in the moment you decide to walk away, it doesn’t matter why they’re hungry, or who owes who what.

You had the opportunity to help people, you had the ability to help people, you had the resources to help people. You had everything you needed to make a small, tiny little difference in someone’s life, and you decided not to.

Jeff Bezos has a net worth of $127.3B.

There are about 554,000 homeless people in the United States.

So in order to give out $100k to each homeless person in the US, that’d cost $55.4B. Which, in the interest of accuracy and good math, is 43.5% of his income. So OP was off by a couple of orders of magnitude.

I said it still made a pretty good point though, right? Well, $127.3B - $55.4B = $71.9B. This would leave Bezos still about as rich as Mark Zuckerberg.

I haven’t seen this on tumblr, and I feel like it needs to be said.
