Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

That.......... wasn't exactly my point.

My point was more that people think £1bn is not that much more than £1m. That billionaires aren't "all that rich"

I was trying to illustrate that one billion of anything is far more than you think it is.

If you met 100 people an hour, every hour, for every day it would take you one thousand, one hundred and forty one years to meet one billion people.

And yet people say "Eh -- people shouldn't persecute billionaires. They deserve that much"

My point is no.
