Jokes on them, I've never had wealth or any prospects of having children.
Jokes on you. Your wealth exists. It’s just already been stolen.
I come from a long line of poors. If there was any wealth stolen it was before the founding of America.
Your data is worth millions of dollars to businesses.
That is yours.
Yet they pay each other for your stuff.
I’m telling you, your wealth is being stolen every day.
You only believe you’re poor because you're convinced your property belongs to someone else.
You aren’t poor, your wealth has been stolen from you.
The collective data of everyone is worth millions. My personal data is a few cents at best.
Facebook with a few hundred million users is worth 1.5T. That’s one company. That’s the obvious one.
Your data gets sold over and over and over and over.
Other people are stealing your data (wealth you don’t realize is worth millions) and letting some asshole convert it into their own personal cash machine.
All under the guise of “meh it’s only a few cents”
What a load of horse hockey that doesn’t hold up to basics scrutiny.
The value of a company is just made up bullshit. It has nothing to do with the value of any one person's data.
Your use of the service is in exchange for your data...
Yeah. That’s the grift.
