Capitalism is failing. You guys think it sounds super great for you right now, but the billions of people going without billions of dollars aren't gonna tolerate 'just surviving' forever.
A plandemic in play for none the rich.
And the people say there has been an economic crunch in the world. There's none. Rich are getting richer.
How nice the HUMAN CAPITAL STOCK could help enrich them while they pay 💩 wages and benefits. 🙄
⚠️Hazard ⚠️ . . . . . 💸 Pay. 💸 😷😷😷😷🤒🤒🤒🤒
Nothing but the deepest darkest hell to these mfs
Boycott his businesses!
ain't that cute...

Please share the wealth with the rest of us working during this pandemic - so many Americans out of work- how can possibly spend it all - why not share so no one suffers....
Humanity must just wait for another 10 years and wait for another play,game wil b the same but the lie wil b deferent.
So they bypass recession by simply unleashing corona wow these are blue chip gamblers and they bring meaning to the word SAVAGE
New World order rich become richest
😎😎😎 I think it is such a foolish as a man with limited life accumulates money infinitely Such a pile of money is to fail to function properly and rot without being given to the poor in the coffers of the rich.
I was a surprised to read this but then saw how deceptive this article is. The author is measuring gains from when markets bottomed on 23 March!! They had already fallen 30% then so the gain in wealth should be measured against the huge falls before
This is pure sin. There is something wrong w/ this system. His workers are at uneccessary risk in their jobs. Tgey are ignored. Whistle Blowers in upper management were recently fired. Yet the metronome counts tge 24/7 cash crawl to first trillionaire. NotMyAmerica
How are these billìonaires net worth is valued? Is it based on net assets or equity / net assets plus / minus long term debt? Does the gain come from what? Increase or growth in retain earnings of their business
Capitalism
Oksalayo bazofa
Please end world hunger 💛
Woh!! Pandemic what now!!
👀
_KP_Raps And water is wet
Business is recession proof. Invest in it instead of being bitter.
I still say COVID was designed for the wealthy to buy more of the world. Collapse the markets and buy it at a steal.👌🏾
And next year they will go to Davos to talk about eliminating poverty and inequality, and they will make more money again and then go to Davos for same subject and the circle repeats over and over.
The rich still cashing out in this lockdown.
so poor ppl are suffering while super rich are getting richer the system of capitalism
Having lots of money is a very good idea.
Which one of them is going to be first on the menu when the poor have no choice but to eat them.
I’ll be the next top 5 billionaires in the world 💕💕💕😻😻😻🙏
Meanwhile small businesses are closing up shop all over Main Street in America.
The world system is so unbalanced and unfair. It makes rich more richer. Time to change our tax system and need to bridge the gap.
Which one is fact?200+ or 400+
i mean the business he runs literally is optimal for getting most of the things you need that aren’t grocery related right about now so i do t know what you expected his business is perfect for this situation so he gets paid
Meanwhile.....massive unemployment and food lines.
Poorly written story designed as clickbait. How are they doing compared to peak? Compared to low everyone is up...
JeffBezos is LexLuthor
I want to be on that list
Hmmmmmmmm
UclaBruin1998 It’s amazing that tRump’s nemesis JeffBezos is always front and center. The Walton family, of Walmart infamy, is the real Main Street killer, parasite of government programs for its poorly paid workforce, crusher of small businesses and huge outlet for Chinese goods.
We just keep making them more rich
To fix this wealth inequality that’s happening, us consumers need to start buying from small businesses while the government subsidize small business in order to promote competition.
sar_oso We’re literally sick to death of the ultra rich.
On average $1B per day per each billionaire.
Capitalism is a weak and evil system.
As if Dems had nothing to with the horrific stimulus bills! These billionaires are exactly who Biden will gladly serve. They all belong to the same club! Nothing will change.
Berita begini gimana gak mancing keluarnya teori konspirasi kalo virus ini memang grand scenario nya orang2 kaya. Hidup orang laen jadi experimen. Dan berhasil nambah pundi2 mereka.
Just wanted to say a big thank to you traderalbert1 for helping me on my trade I made $10,000 with $3,000 investment I had good guidance with him on this forex trade skill, I've had of his trade on a comment so I contacted him.i just want to say one more thanks to you sir.

Are you intentionally trying to trigger Crazy Bernie & Dementia Joe.?
On the backs of the poor, middle class .....
Explains the whole pandemic...
What’s the big deal? That’s only an average of $10billion each. (/s)
“The world’s 25 richest billionaires have gained nearly $255 billion in just 2 months.” Interpretation: If I’m not mistaken 4 of the top 10 don’t give to the poor.
Cash Cow
Yet no one gets upset with stars and entertainers who don’t give to charities but blames good CEOs who provide jobs and donates fortunes to charities. Oh the irony❤️✝️
It is hard to make out if they have gained or competitors have lost a fortune! Amazon could have gained through streaming site in lockdown, what else?
The rest of you plebs should be grateful for your $1200.
You have gone downhill by employing sensationalism.
Heads they win, tails we lose
Please Sir, may I have some more !
🙉
And Trump improved his golf handicap by three strokes. Win - win
Thanks to you taxpayers. Ain't America great?!
Ahora la lista de los que perdieron....
No no no... they gave workers $2/hr raises... that should have totally eaten into their overall earnings... hence why they're rolling the increases back.. right?
And the two months before they lost the same!
Stop hating the rich just because you are jealous.
I still do wonder, and they would have to do it the old fashioned way, what would happen to their money if the top 10-20% richest people/their families in the world were assassinated.
There but by the grace of Fed
It's all relative. How much are they still down from the February highs before COVID-19?
50 million Americans living in poverty. Well done, capitalism!
It would take almost 12 days for a million seconds to elapse and 31.7 years for a billion seconds. Obsceneandintolerable Taxtherich
I thought the STD ridden March on Wall Street people put an end to that?
There in business to make money..stop hating. They were still the richest when we were all working anyways. Who cares!!
vomit 🤮
Gee...I wonder how...
And they of course are all sharing and giving back to their employees and customers who have made it possible
No shit
Yet the FED printer makes that look like penny's.. 🙄
Crisis Capitalism is the same as War Profiteering. They should be taxed at 90%.
adjusted for tax cuts?
Bezos is on my list of 'Deaths to Celebrate'
See am. Na for this same 2020 wey u Dey shout say e bad o. Dey there 😂
dang! !!!
Y_Malik18
Your ~soul is priceless~
The wealth disparity is too high. Too unjustifiable
How do they do this shit? 😭
Wealth distribution!
Oh, yippie!! How wonderful. Now can someone please give me the name of one billionaire who has not reached success by stepping on/taking advantage of others and doing illegal/immoral stuff?
Which is the real reason there was a lockdown for healthy people in the first place. Driven by the elites to cash in.
EatTheRich
That's what happens when you start your measurement at the lowest point in the market two months ago. This is misleading reporting.
Whew, thank god!
Ok. How much did they lose combined in March during the collapse?
