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.

Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CursedThis 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 PostsSome 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.
