    Everytime time this meme is posted someone makes a comment about how dumb it would be to just sit on that cash for the last 80,000 years instead of just taking advantage of compound interest.

    Obviously you’d be extremely wealthy if you were immortal and could invest wisely over the last 80,000 years. That’s not really the point though.

    The point is that billionaires have an obscene amount of money. An amount that most people can’t even imagine without going to an extreme example. They wouldn’t exist in a just society.
