Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Here's the honest truth about money.
Rich people aren't as rich as you think.
Elon Musk is a perfect example. He has all of this supposed money, but if he ever TRULY tried to access all of it he would be cut off at the knees.
All of his money is tied up in investments. and if he tried to pull all of that capital investment they simply wouldn't let him. Because if he did do so, it would destroy the global economy. So in reality he basically has only a real access to only a fraction of his supposed wealth. just enough to be rich, just not super rich.
The sheiks in Saudi Arabia have more wealth and power than him because they can collapse oil revenues whenever they want. and their wealth is tied up in commodities. the big one people need.
