I know plenty of young people that fit this 

True. But it seems like it's older (age 50+) who spend more time on Facebook. Younger folks are more like to be scrolling Instagram, Twitter, or TikTok.

So I guess what I said was unfairly discriminatory toward older people. Social media's tendency to groupthink people is toxic to our society.

Have any of you seen the footage from the volcano eruption in the Canary Islands? This shit is qnarly. 

 

I just googled it and over 2 million people live on the Canary Islands. I was surprised. I thought it was one of those remote tropical places where only a handful thousand of rich people lived.

Looking at the Googs, La Palma where the volcano erupted has a population of 84k.  Size of La Palma is 273 square miles.  Which is about the size of Molokai Hawaiian Island at 260 square miles.  In more relatable comparison, Catalina island is 76 square miles.  So I think the handful of rich people is probably still applicable.

Dude, I’m really close to 50 myself and do not consider that an “older generation”. I had 65+ in my head when you originally said that

I like how people think that because someone is a billionaire they just have tons of cash lying around. As if they're Scrooge McDuck diving into their pools of gold coins.

Yeah I see this a lot online when certain successful bands donate to charity. 

They don't have millions of dollars just sitting in their checking account where they can bang out a $500,000 check all William H Nilly. Most of their assets aren't liquid. They'd be fucking stupid if they were.

This is true. Most of their wealth is stored up in excess properties and cars and stashed away in tax-avoidant bank accounts.
