Consumers Threaten to Boycott Backcountry.com as Retailer Sues Businesses for Using the Term ‘Backcountry’
@cavecreekgoat: If you think Jeff Bezos works 2.35 million times harder than the average American, I am in the cannabis industry and I would seriously like to know what you are smoking.

@cavecreekgoat: Understanding the scale of a billion dollars might help you grasp this:
One million seconds is 11 days.
One billion seconds is 31 years.
For the average person making $50k per year, it would take 21,000 years to make one billion dollars. Jeff Bezos is worth $112 billion dollars.
It would take that same worker 2.35 million years to be worth what Jeff Bezos is worth TODAY.

@cavecreekgoat: Also, historically speaking, the last time income inequality was this bad was in the 'Roaring 20s', right before the Great Depression.

@cavecreekgoat: You should try listening to actual economists speak about income inequality. It's not that income inequality is bad, it's that it has ballooned to the point of it ruining our economy.
Think of all the money in the economy as a pizza with 10 slices. All the people in the country are represented by 10 people. The current situation has the first guy taking 9 slices, leaving 9 people to fight over 1 piece of pizza.
This is a scaled down, but accurate, representation of the level of income inequality currently present in America.
Educate yourself, listen to actual economists like Robert Reich and Dr Richard Wolff speak about it.
