The $5mil ring cost him 0.0000021% of his current networth

I thought that the rule was supposed to be two months income.

I guess Jeff doesn't really love his new wife.

Jesus Christ. Two months' income is so insane. I'd be pissed if my boyfriend bought me a ring that expensive.
- Two months is what DeBeirs, the assholes who hold a monopoly on diamonds, arbitrarily told people to spend on a diamond.
  
  Ultimately it should be what makes both parties happy.
- you might not mind too much if you lived in a time when women didn't have their own bank accounts or source of income not controlled by their husbands. it was actually a decent rule when it was the only thing of real value you truly owned and could sell if you needed to gtfo of an abusive relationship or give you a bit of breathing room if you were widowed suddenly (and your husband's family decided not to take care of you once he was gone).
  
  but yes, now a days is definitely overkill.
- My ass was confused there's a different category for wedding rings that has this generally insane pricing. There are a lot of other ways to show a partner they are special. Like a memorable trip for two somewhere nice can go well under that.
jeffery is not capable of human emotions like love and empathy

Earned on the backs of working class.

Did Amazon ever acknowledge or deign to negotiate with the unions formed by their workers?

You must pee in a bottle and process a package in 25 seconds...... For the prosperity of Bezos.
- For the prosperity of Bezos.
  
  That sounded like a legit chant.
Sorry, warehouse is closed.

Current net worth you mean?

Raisin network on average.
- I want to learn how to increase my net raisin.

I don't understand how more people aren't upset by this. I guess that's why they installed Trump, to keep us mad about everything else...

The system as it is cannot continue this way. Something must break.

Can I suggest the necks of all billionaires?
- Nothing will change until the rich and rightwingers are all killed
- Fingers crossed, but im not optimistic that will be the first thing.
Hoping it will be the necks of the wealthy, confident it will be sonething bigger and more precious.

The actual number is 0.000021, or 0.0021%. If you make $50,000 a year, 0.000021 is just $1.05. Bezos spending $5 million on a ring has the same effect on his net wealth as our 50k per year guy spending $1.05 on a wedding ring.

Cheap fucker didn't even come close to spending two months salary on his big love.

Quickest, simplest fix would be to treat borrowing against unrealized capital gains as income for tax purposes.

Luigi... Luigi what? Does anybody remember that name?

Only 0.000021%. It seems you accidentally threw in an extra zero.

The fact an order of magnitude made functionally no difference is ridiculous.
He's actually three zeros off.

It's 0.0021%
- Came to upvote this
- Damn, you're right. I forgot to account for the conversion to %.
Much better.
- Order of magnitude better. Three orders of magnitudes better once you also fix the misuse of percentages.

TCP/IP? IPX? Arcnet? Token ring?

As bad as things are, most Americans are not living paycheck to paycheck. It looks like that 60% figure comes from a single survey from an online banking company in 2023. The Fed reports the majority of US adults have had at least 3 months of emergency savings every year since 2018.

Network?

Net worth*
- Oh, I get it. Your network is your net worth.
I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!
Dang thanks! Spell correct bitting me hard
- Bitting?

What does Bernie mean by real tax rate? How is he calculating that 1.1%

Net worth is two words.
