Assuming his networth 241 billion, 7 dollar minimum wage, 24 hour workdays, that would be just under 4 million years
I wish the human brain was built to understand numbers this big… Maybe we wouldn’t have let it get to this.
For the record that’s about as far back as the first "homo"s appeared. Homo Erectus, Homo Habilus, and of course us, Homo Sapiens. So he would be working from the time that the first thing we could mostly call humans first appeared, through some ice ages, through agriculture, and the entirety of human unrecorded and recorded history. 24/7/365 with zero breaks. Truly, we cannot comprehend these numbers
I hope you calculated expenses that mere mortals need to spend their money on.
*extends to eternity
I say tack on another week of wages for every disciplinary action, and if he somehow still magically becomes a perfect employee and completes it with the handicap, fuck it, let him into heaven.
That’s what purgatory is for really
I dunno, is that long enough?
Edit: Only 3.865 million years
He should have to pay rent the whole time too.
And taxes.
Not just taxes on what he makes in hell, but also the taxes he was supposed to pay while alive.
I’ll add only that inflation 's a bitch, and you don’t get raises in hell.
And the debt accrues interest.
I wonder how high the rent in hell is.
Check prices by the jersey turnpike
Probably pretty cheap considering people are always dying to get in there
Surely that’d make it expensive! It’s in high demand!
No, he can’t spend all of his income paying down the debt.
He has to pay rent, medical bills, pay for his car and insurance before he can begin to repay his debt.
No, because he’ll still need to pay rent, utilities, and taxes. He’ll be lucky if he pays off that debt before the heat death of the universe.
Might as well round it up to 4 to account for inflation.
20% increase in living expenses with no salary adjustment.
Fun fact: Lucy is dated 3.2 million years ago.
One year = 8,766 hours
33.88 x 10^9 / 8,766 = 3,865,551 Years
And I bet he spends another million years complaining about how unfair it is.you can be rich like him if you work hard
Haha good one
Why do we have to wait until he dies
Hierarchy!
Man, don’t you know? The law ain’t made to help earthy cats like us. Here on our planet, back in the old days - back in the real old days - it was just every man for himself, scrooblin’ and scrat-scroblin’ for the good stuff, the greenest valleys. And the strongest, meanest men got the best stuff. They got the green valleys and were like ‘The rest of you, y’all scrats get sand.’ And that’s when they made the laws, you see? Once the strong guys got it how they liked it, they said ‘This is fair now, this is the law.’ Once they were winning, they changed the rules up

I don’t trust Bezos to distribute his wealth, but I sure as fuck don’t trust anarchists or tankies to do it, either. I DO trust a democracy to do it via taxation, but apparently that’s a fucking minority, too, so it never gets enough votes.
Being a minority gives huge disadvantage in pure democracy. Fascists shouldn’t be allowed to vote.
Being a minority in a democracy is better than being a minority in any other possible system.
And will netflix run with the idea because I’d like to watch
Jeff Bozzo
That’s just the plot of The Egg.
That story legit changed how I looked at life.
Why wait till he’s dead?
I’m not religious, but the bible clearly states that it’s easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich person to get into heaven. There’s debate about the “eye of the needle” being simple metaphor or whether it was an actual, but very tiny, gate to the city of Jerusalem. Regardless, the idea stands.
Not a lot of debate among scholars. There’s no other evidence of the “eye of the needle” being used in a way that refers to the small doorway in a larger city gate or any of the other alternative readings. Conversely, there are sewing needles dated to that time and place that are roughly the same as modern sewing needles.
The statement is exactly as radical as it looks at first glance. Rich people can’t be right with God, period. All the rest is trying to invent a loophole to let rich people be Christians after Constantine made it widespread in the Roman Empire. First century Christians were almost entirely made of the poor people of the Empire, and would have had no problem at all with the statement as read. The modern reinterpretation is often argued by the exact same people who say you’re not supposed to “read between the lines” of the Bible.
Here’s a Religion for Breakfast video on it: https://youtu.be/sf0Fm8aVApk
And don’t get me started on Paul’s “the love of money is the root of all evil”. Just totally bastardized for the Prosperity Gospel.
The word for Aramaic word for “camel” is basically the same as for “heavy rope”, which is a much more reasonable interpretation. Just as a rope is too big to fit through the eye of a needle, so is the material obsession of a rich person too big.
The original word means thick string iirc. Still hard, but not quite as ludicrous

One must imagine Bezos happy.
He also has to pee on a bottle and then drink from it in a loop
You can add in all the other stupid rich billionaires while you’re at it.
One at a time.
Homie, it’s 2025, everything runs in parallel these days…
In parallel and multiple dimensions.
Not to confuse with universes. We are now in the mirror universe.
when. when he dies.
if
Lately I felt that the concept of hell wasn’t really in my mind until I spent time on the US dominated internet.
Hell doesn’t exist, I don’t like it being thought of as punishment. He’ll be dead when he’s dead. Nothing more.
“If”?
I always smile when someone starts a question about death with the word “if”
It’s never a question of ‘if’ we die or when someone dies … it’s a question of ‘when’
Death … it’s the great equalizer for all of humanity, no matter how smart, dumb, young, old, rich, poor, intelligent, stupid, educated, illiterate you are, we always end up in the same place where we started … the deep dark eternal sleep.
Good point! Correct!
Old version:
You can’t imagine him happy
If Jeff Bezos wasn’t here, it would be some other cunt. Don’t hate the player, hate the game. It’s capitalism which rewarded his exploitation of slave labour. And using slaves isn’t that new of an idea. If it wasn’t him, it would have been someone else, because there’s an entire system rewarding this exact kind of putrid behaviour.
We shouldn’t absolve people of their sins because someone else might have acted the same.
You’re right, but we should also hate Bezos.
I think you’re right. Why should we be picky? One needs the other after all.
Don’t hate the player, hate the game.
We can and should absolutely do both. The game is perpetuated by the players.
That is a good take, in all honesty, which I haven’t considered before. Fuck both of them.
My heart is big enough to hate all of them and the system itself :)
Sure maybe. But would they just be cunts or kinda cunts or do they see employees piss in bottles and go: man these workers have too much free time.
