A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

dealing with so many major problems that would instantly vanish if i had a thousandth of one percent of what oligarchs burn through in one vacation
I live near an area where they go to vacation. Multimillion dollar literal mansions with separate housing for their pools/guests, on huge properties and they literally have people they pay to live in the house because they only actually use it 2-3 weeks a year...
Friend of mine has that gig, lives in some rich guys woods compound through the winter. Except he's pretty much cut off from society outside the Internet, starlink has been a huge blessing up there. Place is a 4 hour snowmobile ride from the nearest gas station.
I'm not going to lie, that sounds like actual heaven to me. If I could bring my wife, I'd drop my in-office software job for it in a heartbeat
come play wif us danny
Cabin fever ain't no joke
All work and now play makes NotSteve_ a dull boy
I'm right there with ya, so I feel you there. I'm so sorry, and I hope at least some things improve for you soon! 🫂
A thousandth of one percent is 1x10^-5, i.e. if your oligarch spent 10^9 (a billion) you would get 10.000 dollars (10^4) which I doubt would be enough to cover most major problems. (Or 100.000 dollars for that matter)
For someone who's poor? $10k would solve a lot of problems. Poor people already know how to stretch a dollar. Having 10k of them to stretch could go a long way.
It's crazy because I haven't had $10,000 anything approaching since I was 19 years old and living with my parents. $10,000 is simultaneously an unobtainable amount of money for me as well as something that wouldn't really improve my day to day life. I could either use the money to pay off a quarter of my student loans or use it to get a car that starts properly and doesn't have a leaky roof.
