    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

        And it would last just one generarion, because that amount of money would not be generared if not for those suckers hoarding money
