step into the church of my chest, where my ribcage forms the steeple and my lungs, the pews. lay an offering at the altar of my heart. this is a place of faith. of mourning. of hope. you will find no answers here.

sometimes I wish that every article naming how much a public service would cost (or how much it would cost to repair needed infrastructure for the service or to make the service more accessible to disabled people and poor people) would explain that number in terms of how much time it takes a billionaire to earn that much.
like “it would cost $8.6 million (or, a little under one hour of Bezos’s earnings) to build a new public library building in this area which would serve 45 thousand people.”
money is literally a social and political representation of how we are choosing to allocate resources. I wish these direct comparisons were made so people who haven’t yet made the connection might at least start asking “huh… why should we allocate these resources to one person to do nothing with them instead of to 45 thousand people in the form of an essential service? why do we allocate this amount of resources to this one person every single hour of every single day but it’s unthinkable to provide it to tens of thousands of people just once? why are tens of thousands of people (of which I am one), all of us collectively, less valuable than this one guy?”
- This is a good idea.
- When it comes to dealing with politicians talking about cost to the taxpayer, divide it by the number of people it will serve; annualize if appropriate. “This new library will cost $8.6 million, serve 45,000, and last at least 25 years - less than $8 per person per year”.
literally someone just take his money
