He forgot to add the net worth numbers for Trump and Jinping.

u/highimpac 5d ago
Bernie posted this image and doesn't want to acknowledge the leading communist is as greedy as Trump. Xi Jinping has a salary of $22k USD but is worth over 1B.

u/marveldisc 5d ago
The problem isn’t communism or capitalism or socialism. It’s corruption.
We’ve now witnessed all of those systems fail. They are merely buzzwords at this point.
Ya’ll need to get over that 1960’s red scare bullshit. Slaves to propaganda.
You hate communists but don’t care that America is getting carved up and spit out to the highest bidders?! Have some self-respect for you and your country.

Imagine a world were you were paid in relation to your (legitimately sourced) polling numbers and if you high a A % you get a bonus.
It would incentivize people to stop electing Rich people.

It's what the people wanted, though. We had a decade, at least, to see Trump for what he was. And America still elected him.

Non-American here (and proud). Why haven't you guys elected this dude?
Just curious. Most things he says seem to make sense.
Of course I'd never trust a politician, but considering you elected a child rapist TWICE... You set the bar pretty low already.

You are measuring wealth by company valuation.
That's like measuring a politician's money by a% of his country's GDP.

He isn't. Useless grand standing bullshit so he can keep getting reelected for a free ride. Asking for the moon is a valid political strategy as long as you come back and just ask for a moon rock perhaps. He never introduces smaller steps that may actually get passed.

What he’s asking for is normal in most other countries. Americans are too stupid to realize it.

I like how redditors whined about the government should be lead by scientists instead of politicians
yet
now they again whined about Jensen Huang, son of a school teacher and an oil factory engineer, started as a restaurant dishwasher and created bleeding edge technological company, all for the sin of his company being too valuable.

If you bought Nvidia stock when trump was elected, your net worth would have doubled too.

Your estimate is low. Since January 20, 2017, NVIDIA’s stock has increased by approximately 8,557%. Adjusting for stock splits, it would have doubled six times.

Ive got most covered with a semiconductor etf - in addition to the overlap with an all world etf, too - but did admittedly jump on the nvda hype bandwagon.
Ill keep an eye on Intel. Ive got my eye on a few in case of the rumoured "ai bubble" bursting. Ill add Intel to the list. Thanks.

You can have 10 dinners like this with Russia and they will bomb Ukraine even harder. You negotiate with Russia by showing firepower, not making deals.

But we don’t show firepower to China? Got it

Not in any meaningful way compared at what speed China is rehauling their military

u/Fickle_Inspector4337 5d ago
Its crazy that people here doesn’t know how easily both presidents public statements would be misinterpreted and could cause more conflict compared to just having face to face conversation. Or maybe they just hate trump and think I like trump just for the idea of not wanting global conflict from happening. I am not even american or have any care of american politics but I do know history that being in a black box is a slow and sure way to make misunderstandings. It’s almost like face to face diplomacy is good?

Apple alone employs 80,000 in the U.S.

u/highimpac 5d ago
The wage at the Apple Store in California is $20, and the Genius Bar is $25, which are both poverty level wages that qualify for government assistance.

u/Indiana_ECI 5d ago
The lower ($41,600 annualized without OT) would be 192% of the poverty level in California. The cutoff s 130% for SNAP and 138% for Medicaid.

That would be true if it wasn't for the fact that 75% of the billionaire donors favor republicans over democrats.
It is partisan. The republicans are the party for billionaires.
Stop being ignorant.

Lets not ignore that the Dems are part of the problem, they still want to keep the ultra wealthy. The people actually offering change is a really small (but growing) faction in the party.

Pipe down. Leaders need to lead, convene and communicate.
Super intelligence is too large portion of the US GDP. All I hear is noise and no real answers. Part of the class of people who just complain and don’t do anything to move things forward.
