Take that Bill Gates!

Carlos Slim is now the richest man in the world.

Fucking obscene that he lives in country where more than
half of it's population lives in poverty.

It's great that richest these days just means has
the most money/is worth the most amount of gold
rather
than meaning a general abundance of something. (e.g. in the
phrase A richness of spirit).

Wow; never even heard of him.
Money doesn't seem to be backed by gold anymore, in the usa
federal reserve at least, according to some sources, or
possibly conspiracy theories.

It's not a conspiracy theory, it's an accepted fact that
money is "backed up" by how much confidence people have in
the market, not by anything as tangible as gold.

But the conspiracy/or true part is that the federal reserve
just prints however the hell much money they want thus
increasing inflation while trying to institute a nazi style
world government under the dictatorship of Arnold
Schwartzenneger. Oh and some politicians morph into lizards.
At least that's what Alex Jones spams all over google
video/youtube. He is a skilled talker but I suspect he is a
sociopath starting some bizarre cult more successful than
scientology because it is less loosly based on reality.

Hmmm....

Inflation is kept under control because it's bad for rich
people when the millions of dollars they invest doesn't show
any profit over time due to high inflation.

it's disturbing that money isn't really backed up by
anything, it's value is just as valid as the value trading
cards have. we're truly living in a wage-slavery system.
