When was the last good year for poor people? Anyone? Bueller?
The last time was probably the Neolithic Revolution
Before it.
Agriculture actually made people’s lives much worse in many regards. Worse diet, women turned into commodities, shorter life spans due to increased infectious diseases, much less free time due to having to put more effort into getting food (somewhat surprisingly hunter-gatherers have way more free time) etc. It’s been great for rulers and population growth though. If anything, poor people were invented in the Neolithic Revolution

They could fund everyone in the Fediverse and Reddit combined!
/s because it ain’t happening :(
But why would she? She earned that, while you’re dreaming about life-changing sums falling from the sky.
It’s mostly tongue-in-cheek. I’m not actually suggesting that Taylor Swift should give away all her money to randos on the Internet.
