It's the fact that we're using bananas as money that's the problem. Make no mistake, it is a real problem. #Bitcoin fixes this. Dollars, on the other hand, rot. Also, to be precise, Elon doesn't have any dollars, that's how he stays rich. He owns banana stocks.

He dismantled Twitter and now he is trying the same in the constitution. He is trying to implement the same system Javier Milei tried and failed in Argentina 🙄 #doge #layoffs

To play out the Monkey in a state of Nature scenario: It's complicated. How many monkeys are we talking about? Is the population small enough that there's a possibility that all could agree on a single potentially controversial question, I.e. do we consent to be governed by majority rule?

Biden has been building new manufacturing plants all around the country. It takes years to complete all these projects and would have been done by now if Trump ever had more ideas than concepts during his previous reign of stupid. I'm sure he'll take credit for it anyway, as soon as it gets finished

Yeah, cause showing loyalty and helping allies that were among the first to stand with us on 9/11 is apparently a foreign concept to a maga. A country that was invaded without a reason other than putin wanted it back in what was the former Soviet Union. One of the reasons people cut you magas off

All of the bananas are never gone. Money isn't a zero sum game or finite resource. Basic economics. If you want to live in a space of scarcity, feel free. Most of us prefer to work to create abundance everywhere. And yes, that's for all people.

"For decades, researchers conducted lab experiments with chimps that suggested they were, indeed, almost completely selfish. They found in laboratory experiments that chimps tended to hoard food and were unwilling to hand over snacks to fellow apes, even when it didn't really cost them anything"

If you cannot acknowledge the CLEAR benefits Musk is making to humankind, across all his endeavors, it says more about you than it does him. And what it says about you isn’t good. Rule #46: Saying something is NOT the same as having something to say.

Studies of primates have shown hoarding behavior resulting in the hoarder being killed by the group. But what do we know, we're just some hairless primates.

For the monkey, we assume a banana's only value is to eat it. But if it traded those bananas for sex, we wouldn't be asking why it's hording them. Wealth serves numerous purposes, that you can't conceive of a purpose for billions may only be revealing your ignorance of its value.

Oh, I can conceive of a purpose for billions. Many purposes, in fact. None of them for the good of society. I don't generally like blanket statements or reductionism, but concentrated power seems to be dangerous in every form. IF there is an exception to that rule, elon is definitely not it.

If a monkey worked to pick more bananas than it could eat, and used those to plant more banana trees, all while some monkeys sat back and complained and starved, the other monkeys picking bananas would look puzzled at the complaining monkeys. When humans do it, we reply to them on social media.

But they don’t hoard the bananas; rather, they invest them to grow more bananas and in the process employ more banana workers, banana greenhouse builders, banana packagers and retailers, etc., and pay more taxes to fund more social programs for you and me. That’s the theory, anyway.

Ah, but that’s not TDE. TDE is hokum anti-taxers use to rationalize NOT taxing banana man, I.e., by saying he’ll use his tax savings to hire even more people, etc, and thereby eliminate the need for social support programs that government could have otherwise paid for by taxing his banana profits.

i.byi.by

Weird how you point the finger at 1 individual who has no responsibility to share the bananas he has grown meanwhile the US government which is responsible for social services has LOST more bananas, all of which they have taken from you, than he will ever grow.

Eventually the other monkeys will shred the greedy asswipe parasite monkey to bits in desperation and revel in his massacre , screaming and swinging body parts everywhere …….. …. good thing we don’t come from monkeys…….

The other monkeys should just take the bananas as the hoarder monkey probably obtained the bananas by illegal means. It's always been a theory that a monkey amassing that amount of bananas has bent the rules at some stage.No monkey should have that many bananas.

Elon has never planted a tree in his life. He is neither inventor nor innovator. He steals the valor of real scientists & geniuses. He grifts off of the American taxpayer, and wields the power of his money against democracy and the people. He is a midget among men.

There will always be haters like yourself. With that type of attitude you’ll always be held back, negative, wondering why life is so meaningless. You’ll also always misinterpret the truth like you did here. Successful people ignore the haters.

Sadly for the rest of us in the world, that monkey actually believes that he is 'saving humanity' and that suffering now will be beneficial in the long run. Delusional narcissism runs very deep in that disturbed monkey.

With all due respect, money is not a resource like bananas Money is something else Regardless, after Marx tyrannized the labor movement into extinction, it was only natural that the stupidity in the other direction would follow: billionaires! We need better, more action-bound theories urgently

Greatest entrepreneur in history creates multiple world changing companies only to be called greedy. No yachts, real estate or car collections. No vacations, works all the time. Your politics are clouding your judgement.

There is a juxtaposition that is very hard to get people’s mind around(myself included) that the super rich(over 50 million for a round number) are not all evil BUT to get to that wealth number you will either explicitly or implicitly hurt multiple people. This rule works 95% of the time

It’s hard to wrap your head around if you have over X money you will have hurt people either accidentally or on purpose. But can you or even should you separate the two. Plus people can start in 1 camp and over time move the other. It takes more nuance but that probably isn’t for social media

Elon's defense, now in the form of legal support, to Alex Jones is proof positive, as if we needed any more, than Elon's a sociopath. On a mission to defend the guy who defamed grieving parents of murdered children as "crisis actors", such that they are inundated with threats of violence?? Sick.

The American Ryder Cup team want money to play. The Europeans do it for pride. That’s the difference between America & Europe. America only sees money, not education, health, environment etc.

I agree! We have to implement our communist utopia soon! Its the only way! And all white people should have their land and belongings confiscated and the Nazi Trump should be on the top of the list! 100% sure the Nazi cheated in the election how. We had 18mil more votes in 2020!! Just saying!

Humans are the only monkeys that ever hoard anywhere near that much, so my guess is that is probably just too extreme for any of the scientists to think there's any chance of making sense of it.

Ha! Gross but true although in this analogy I think the monkeys would band together, banish the hoarder and keep the bananas- I also think the smack down would be led by the females of the troop.

Good Will and Good Faith, Bona Fide = Beneficial Interest Is a fictional number based on Con-Fidere, confidence, Trust in others. These share values are only based on the trust in him & the systems ability to perform. Don't Destroy the con-fidere in the system that creates the numbers & trust

This is what someone who has no understanding of economics would write. Did the monkey with all those bananas make the other monkeys far better off than they were before? Did the other monkeys voluntarily give that monkey bananas in exchange for something more valuable?

In world dominated and harmed by predatory capitalism, the media create the personas that yield the best ROI irrespective of any harm they may be doing. They promote harmful stereotypes and divisive ideologies. This is why I recommend The Guardian for unbiased news and information.
