Dumbasses

There was this one rich guy that tried starting from 0 and making his money back to show other people it can be done. He had to give up eventually and he only made 65 000$ in 10 months.

Coffeezilla made a video about him on his second channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3B9AnLnleoE

And he went "Yeah but this technically doesn't count, I had to quit because someone got sick." and he still didn't seem to realize that that's exactly what happens to poor people too except they have no way to hit the "stop being poor until conditions improve" -panic button.
Love that guy. [edit: Coffeezilla!]
He also kind of cheated didn't he?

More glorious because it has that PoS Seinfeld saying something he never would

Wait, I forget what horrible rich piece of shit thing he's known for... is it wanting the legal space to fuck children, or was it his utter contempt of people trying to earn a living wage? Or something I'm totally forgetting?
I know he's a massive utterly vile piece of shit. I just forget which flavor of piece of shit.
- Those and the Palestine thing
- Gotcha covered.
  It’s all of this: https://www.distractify.com/p/why-do-people-hate-jerry-seinfeld
- I believe he had a 15 year old girlfriend when he was on seinfeld the tv show.
  edit: she was 17

i just don't understand why the pursuit of even more wealth is important. They have more money than ANYONE could possibly spend in multiple lifetimes, so what's the fucking point?

The point, unfortunately, is that incremental games are fun.
so what's the fucking point?
I've heard that covering up abhorrent crimes takes special amounts of money.
But maybe they'll release the Epstein files any day now to prove that rumor wrong, and we can all relax.
- do remember schroedinger's trumpstein files though. They both don't exist AND are irrelevant.
Because money is an "universal equivalent" commodity that can be exchanged for essentially anything, ranging from food, housing and other essentials to personal political power. If you're a capitalist and can get this powerful commodity passively without doing any labor of your own, it wouldn't make sense not to go for more.
That, and also just how capitalism works in general - capital tends to accumulate in the hands of the few given how easy it is, often even without doing anything, to monopolize industries, drive smaller competitors out of business or even absorb them.
Add in the very basics too like how the main driving force behind companies is profit accumulation, and you start noticing that it's not necessarily a moral failure, but a system being one of capital accumulation - it's the game that everyone is heavily encouraged and told to play.

Kind of interesting that Seinfeld is the subject of the meme, since he is now a billionaire.

It’s called a double back meme craptacular. Jerry S invented this in the 90s but he pulled back when the NSA said no no no. Documented in the knowledge fight podcast
(That was a lie)

Literal lawls. 🤣
