    It’s not that nobody deserves a yacht, it’s that capitisim gives yachts to the wrong people. My middle school librarian deserves a yacht, my 9th grade science teacher deserves a yacht, Jefferson Bezoar does not deserve a yacht.

      It’s not that Bezes doesn’t deserve a yacht. It’s that he doesn’t deserve 176.9 million of them. If all money in the US was distributed equally then everyone in the US could have a small yacht. But of course we can’t be ignoring the rest of the world.

        If money was distributed equally among adults in the US, everyone would make around $90k/year income. Not enough to afford a yacht. Not even enough to afford a house in some parts of the country. That’s kind of mind blowing to me.

          If everyone would make $90k then the economy would be completely different.

          I think Lamborghini would be making some budget version of their current supercars, that would never come to exist in a 90k world.

          To just name a random item that popped in my head.

            $600 gallon of milk. It goes on from there.

          However, if that’s to every adult, then couples would be making $180k combined, with which they might be able to save up for a yacht or a house

      Why does your middle school librarian deserve the life’s work of so many people? Just because someone is a great individual or has am impactful job (that’s done by many others aswell)?
