Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

I'd want the powers of the Jessica Jones villain played by David Tennant where you can make anyone do anything. But instead of using it to rape and shit I'd make rich people turn their homes into homeless shelters and give their wealth away and I could just walk out of any bank or store with whatever I wanted.
Ok, so now you've sheltered 500 people, say 10 to a room. I suppose that's nice for them, what about the other 770k in the US?
That's where making them give their wealth away comes in. The homeless shelter thing is more of a "fuck you" than a practical solution.
There are 750 billionaires in the US. I get your point about them not having enough real estate to host 1000 persons each, but usually, people considerably underestimate how many billionaires there are and how much they're worth.
They wouldn't have to give up their home to shelter 770k people. They could to it with less than 1% of their combined wealth.
That, and my definition of wealthy encompasses more than just billionaires. I'd include centimillionaires, at least.
Edit: the best info I can find says there are about 65k centimillionaire households.
Their wealth is very different from their homes.
Sure. But this is unproductive bad-faith literal reading.
