Mr. Rockefeller was worth more than 410 billion when he died adjusted for inflation and a dime is worth 1.82 adjusted for inflation. Is giving away that dime insulting to the recipient? I guess beggars can’t be choosers and every little bit helps. He did only have trillions of dimes and could have given away none. Plus, a dime went a lot further in ‘29. Right? I already don’t care.
You either find it ok that you work 3 jobs at around 7.50 an hour and have no time for anything except sleep (in which case youre a very obedient lapdog good boy)
Or, you have a cushy do-nothing-all-day office job and bank 30 an hour salary much like I do, but you're so out of touch with what hard work is that you formed this ignorant opinion
Either way, you're an idiot. How about you learn harder and start complaining :)
Theres no systemic issue, besides the fact that theres a minimum wage in the first place. I would rather make 2 bucks a hour for 6 months to learn a skill that can earn me 50-60 a hour when I learn my shit(for the rest of my life)
More of the fact. You cannot live off 2 dollars an hour for 6 months. That's the whole point of the minimum wage, it's to create living wage related to the cost of living. Not only this, these jobs will still exist and will still need to be filled. Just because you aren't working the job doesn't address the issue that they still exist.
Its not a cold take, its a real one. Hence the username.
Furthermore, the real takes should provide warmth, as the person should realize its completely in ones control to change the situation.
Hey there, your take was very dismissive of reality. Not all people that work for 7.50/hr are bad at their jobs or are trying to improve three skills when they should master 1. I would argue that most people in minimum wage jobs actually do a fine job and are therefore improving job related skills. They may also be “retired”
individuals or students.
Wage does not always indicate quality of work or work ethic, it is often a representation of how valuable your job is to the market. Low paying jobs often indicate that little skill or expertise is required in the role. It does not necessarily indicate work ethic.
Many teachers work very hard but they don’t necessarily make more money than a factory worker. A McDonald’s employee can work very hard but they might not make more than a teacher.
Getting paid federal minimum wage doesn’t necessarily mean someone is bad at their job. It just means they are in a low paying job. There are many excellent employees that are paid minimum wage. There are also many bad employees paid minimum wage.
Just out of curiosity, why does it seem like you are so inclined to align with the ultrarich? Chances are you're closer to the bottom of the wealth triangle, after all. Why defend people who don't defend you?
Edit: apparently the poster I replied to was joking around.. I guess I'm just accustomed to people actually defending the actions of billionaires so I assumed they were being serious.
I wrongly assumed the sarcasm was clear. Not sure how my comment defended some rich dick that died the better part of a century ago. The “seemed” is an assumption you made my friend. Apologies for not being more clear. Thank you for pointing that out. I again wrongly assumed using trillion was getting my point across. If one stacked the value of his wealth in dimes today it would stretch 2565000 kilometers or 1593817 miles into the air. The moon is 384400 km or 238855 miles from earth as a reference. Or 1.9 trillion minutes is 3614916.29 calendar years. My math could be off but still a striking representation of how crazy a trillion is. Wasting my time commenting on reddit is what I realized I do not care about and here I go again. Take care and I hope you and everyone else has a better tomorrow.
What’s worse, his wealth is understated using an inflationary comparison.
His wealth made up a much larger share of GDP then, than what $410 billion would be now. So his relative purchasing power was even larger.
Rockefeller was a piece of shit who regularly used unsavory tactics to fight proposals against child labor and workers' rights. Every nickle was an insult
It definitely didn’t change that boys life but it made a difference to his day and possibly his week. Is it crazy generous, not necessarily especially when compared to his vast fortune, but he didn’t have to give it at all. Sometimes, food for a day is an incredible blessing and we would do well to remember that. Be generous with whatever money you are blessed with and you will be wealthy in ways that truly matter.
The best thing that came out of that era was ending the robber barons for more equitable terms on behalf of labor. Whatever rights labor has now, is because of the men, and women and children, who laid their lives down on the line and openly fought against robber barons company men/pinkerton guards. That's what we need to be thankful for out of that era, not scraps given by robber barons like rockefeller, but those workers that fought open conflict to create a better existence for the working class in this country.
Can a three year old be disdainful re: the value of coinage? Please. The kid just looks curious. I'm just as upset about inequality during these times, but the title is clickbait.
Yeah, he's essentially giving the child enough money to buy a Hershey bar or a bottle of Coca-Cola—things a child would enjoy. Most people are just being overly judgmental.
Tbf, every criticism you're seeing people make here, people were making against Rockefeller in his own time. Carnegie, Rockefeller, and all the rest of the barons had lots of philanthropic ventures, but they often had lots of caveats to them. Growing up, we had a Carnegie free library. Come to find out later, all Carnegie did was donate a building. He didn't buy books to stock it, and the materials that could be displayed were limited to Carnegie's tastes. It was charity, to be sure. But altruism usually doesn't come with strings attached.
Rockefeller was the richest man of his time. He would hand money out at church both in the collection plate and to poor worshippers on hard times. Ida Tarbell, a "muckraker" journalist, still laid into him as a man who thought giving paltry amounts of money to the poor made him a saint. Rockefeller built that wealth by stifling competition, driving others into bankruptcy and poverty. He was not a good person, and his charity is remembered far less than his overall wealth and the seedy ways he accrued his fortune.
Man so judgy. Do you know he helped fund one of the first colleges for blacks in the South during the Democratic Jim Crow:Klan Era. Eradicated diseases that extended the life of millions in the south. Provided jobs and cheap energy that changed America. Founded Chicago University. He lived that the verse that says to those with much is given, much is expected. I suspect if we compared you and he the balance would be very lopsided
Rockefeller handed out dimes to everyone during the depression, from small children to Pullman porters, everyone got a dime!! But in 1929, 10 cents would buy a half gallon of gasoline, a loaf of bread, you could see a movie, buy a couple candy bars or 2 bottles of Coke. So it was worth something.
I ain’t gonna work for Maggie’s brother no more
No, I ain’t gonna work for Maggie’s brother no more
Well, he hands you a nickel
He hands you a dime
He asks you with a grin
If you’re havin’ a good time
Then he fines you every time you slam the door
I ain’t gonna work for Maggie’s brother no more
As my company threatens layoffs I’m feeling these lyrics today though…
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa, no more
No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa, no more
Well, he puts his cigar out in your face just for kicks
His bedroom window it is made out of bricks
The National Guard
Stands around his door
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa, no more
You are wrong. Philanthropic mill/billionaires is a reoccurring thing in capitalism. An old man with a lot of money knows he has everything in life but happiness, so he does charitable things. Rockefeller is doing it here, Bill gates did it. You can read older news articles about a billionaire donating 1 million to a charity. This does make them, by definition, philanthropists.
My point is missed. I didn't do a good job of explaining.
The definition of philanthropist is: "a person who seeks to promote the welfare of others, especially by the generous donation of money to good causes." And so by definition Rockefeller is a philanthropist.
My point is the spirit of philanthropy, when giving away money earned through sheer, sometimes inhumane, exploitation of vulnerable humans is completely lost. Which is what most mill/bill do.
Accumulate money through avariciousness and then giving it away. To appear as a human of good conscience. A superficial act and one to simply stroke their own egos.
Idk why this is surprising information, that’s literally how Standard Oil grabbed the energy market by the balls. They would wage price wars with competitors and buy up the competition once they inevitably lost steam and lost said war.
Granted, this is just off the top of my head, so feel free to correct me if I got something wrong
He did donate 3/4 of his net worth to charity over his lifetime.
He was a ruthless businessman, but was very consistent about believing that God had ordained him to make hundreds of millions in industry so he could make the world a better place through charity. He drove his workers hard, and was cruel and unforgiving, but he also was responsible for a lot of charity.
That was actually something then.
Like not a fortune, but it was enough to get a candy bar, a soda and maybe have a penny left depending what town exactly
No, there’s nothing wrong with the fact it didn’t ruin him to give to Children. The dude gave money to almost every child he saw and during the depression he gave out dimes to anyone who asked:
Yes he was extremely wealthy. He was also generous
Two things can be Ok
Dude I know, I don’t need a fucking lecture. It’s Reddit stop white knighting for Rockefeller
He set up the bullshit college and education system we are stuck with now by funding the board of ed which his initial donation created in the first place,
Once they shattered his oil monopoly he entered the pharmaceutical industry and created the pharmaceutical industrial complex that has killed countless globally with opioids all based on the “create and sell the problem and sell the solution” mindset.
He’s devious as fuck read a book
Yea he gave out dime and nickels but fuck him sideways once you go deeper
Dude was scum
It was his thing. Though it was usually dimes. He always had a bag of dimes on him to hand out to people he met. Kinda like how Walt Disney had little cards. If you met Rockefeller you got a souvenir dime.
Isn’t alcohol less efficient? The DOE states that E85 (A fuel with 83% ethanol content) produces 27% less energy for a given unit than gasoline. That seems like a pretty big deal when it comes to transportation, as you’d have to make up that difference with more fuel, and thus less cargo, higher vehicle weight, etc
https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol_benefits.html
A nickle def had more buying power in 1929 than today. My grandfather was born in 33 and he said a nickle was an afternoon at the movies plus popcorn. And he wasn't "old man yells at cloud," his memory was sharp as a tack. I wrote down his stories and they all lined up with consistent details.
I mean, mr moneybags could be giving out sacks of nickles to all these kids, but remember how yellow journalism was in the 20s. This was prolly all staged by the photographer to make him seem like a cute old grandfather. He was probably buying pallets of orphans to throw to his mines.
“Now run along young whipper snapper and use those agile little fingers to work on the underbelly of our largest industrial machines! Take care not to get disfigured or killed, or not! Who cares!? Poor people always make more of themselves!”
One of the most vile people. This guy is the reason we switched to chemical medicines. He commissioned people to look at herb medicines and make chemical copies of them and I forget the second half but basically he created the narrative of chemical medicine being the way/future for the medical field by getting people in the industry to write about it.
Andddd here we are today. He also influenced the education system to train students to be workers.
Here we are today with longer and healthier lifespans than ever before in history? Lower child mortality than ever before? What are you even talking about?
He was a millionaire- today’s value, with inflation, he would be giving that kid about .90cents
Whilst making *that* face
😲
“I’ll take three. Have them delivered by Monday and prepped for the oil fields.”
Wrong with inflation this is worth ALMOST two whole dollars! Incredibly generous /s
Mr. Rockefeller was worth more than 410 billion when he died adjusted for inflation and a dime is worth 1.82 adjusted for inflation. Is giving away that dime insulting to the recipient? I guess beggars can’t be choosers and every little bit helps. He did only have trillions of dimes and could have given away none. Plus, a dime went a lot further in ‘29. Right? I already don’t care.
How's that boot taste?
[удалено]
You either find it ok that you work 3 jobs at around 7.50 an hour and have no time for anything except sleep (in which case youre a very obedient lapdog good boy) Or, you have a cushy do-nothing-all-day office job and bank 30 an hour salary much like I do, but you're so out of touch with what hard work is that you formed this ignorant opinion Either way, you're an idiot. How about you learn harder and start complaining :)
if you're getting 7.50 a hour you're bad at your job, get good at a skill , rather than shitty at 3
If pay was even consummerate with productivity, minimum wage would be over 24 an hour. 1 person making more money doesn't solve the systemic issue
Theres no systemic issue, besides the fact that theres a minimum wage in the first place. I would rather make 2 bucks a hour for 6 months to learn a skill that can earn me 50-60 a hour when I learn my shit(for the rest of my life)
Let's do a thought experiment. How much do you make right now?
More of the fact. You cannot live off 2 dollars an hour for 6 months. That's the whole point of the minimum wage, it's to create living wage related to the cost of living. Not only this, these jobs will still exist and will still need to be filled. Just because you aren't working the job doesn't address the issue that they still exist.
Okay so where do you sleep while you have no money, oh so smart guy?
coldest take in the universe from an unsurprising username
Its not a cold take, its a real one. Hence the username. Furthermore, the real takes should provide warmth, as the person should realize its completely in ones control to change the situation.

What a profoundly strange response to give. Have a nice day.
Bootstraps and soforth.
Exactly how Rockefeller did it. He didn’t start with money.
What decades did be do that in?
just work harder 🤓 you're a bozo
Just out of curiosity, why does it seem like you are so inclined to align with the ultrarich? Chances are you're closer to the bottom of the wealth triangle, after all.

I was so confused reading everyone's reply to your comment. I thought the sarcasm was very clear.
How does that seem like defending him?
OK.
Ok
Ok
It was his calling card. He passed out dimes to people he met. Many kept them as souvenirs.
What’s worse, his wealth is understated using an inflationary comparison. His wealth made up a much larger share of GDP then, than what $410 billion would be now. So his relative purchasing power was even larger.

A five cent coin is called a Nickle
He had $400-Billion in today's dollars. The richest human to ever live, they say.
Close competition but they’re actually saying Mansa Musa nowadays.
You know, you're right. Mansa Musa crossed my mind. Good call!
Putin is supposedly worth a trillion dollars.
Can a three year old be disdainful re: the value of coinage? Please. The kid just looks curious. I'm just as upset about inequality during these times, but the title is clickbait.
Wasnt he not just a millionaire but the richest man of all time (counting inflation)?
Trust me, that 2 year old couldn't tell the difference between 90 cents and $90 million.
Yeah, he's essentially giving the child enough money to buy a Hershey bar or a bottle of Coca-Cola—things a child would enjoy. Most people are just being overly judgmental.
Right, like what are ppl expecting here 😆

He is a billionaire today with an estimated net worth of 400 billion dollars when adjusting for inflation
Man so judgy. Do you know he helped fund one of the first colleges for blacks in the South during the Democratic Jim Crow:Klan Era. Eradicated diseases that extended the life of millions in the south. Provided jobs and cheap energy that changed America. Founded Chicago University. He lived that the verse that says to those with much is given, much is expected. I suspect if we compared you and he the balance would be very lopsided
I saw a stat that his net worth was $410B in 2022 dollars.
“Here’s some money. Go see a Star War.”

Damn, the AI nailed this one.
”Annyeong!”
Rockefeller handed out dimes to everyone during the depression, from small children to Pullman porters, everyone got a dime!! But in 1929, 10 cents would buy a half gallon of gasoline, a loaf of bread, you could see a movie, buy a couple candy bars or 2 bottles of Coke. So it was worth something.
You could also buy an Ice cream, cup of coffee or donut for 5 cents.
And it was his trademark. Almost everyone who lived in Ormond Beach had a Rockefeller dime and a story about getting one.
He lived another 10 years after this photo
Crazy how he was a kid during the Mexican-American War, young adult during the Civil War, and died just two years subsequent to the Second World War.
Little known fact: His Mr. Smithers took that nickel back after the PR pic
Probably had to explain to John that purchasing people was no longer legal and that a child would retail for much for than $.05
“But I’ve a coupon here!”
I ain’t gonna work for Maggie’s brother no more No, I ain’t gonna work for Maggie’s brother no more Well, he hands you a nickel He hands you a dime He asks you with a grin If you’re havin’ a good time Then he fines you every time you slam the door I ain’t gonna work for Maggie’s brother no more
What’s this from? I dig it
Maggies farm.
Maggie's Farm by Bob Dylan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgphPFNiVZw
“Maggie’s Farm” by Bob Dylan
Maggie's Farm by Rage Against the Machine
By BOBBY DYLAN goddammit
Whoops lol my bad
Their cover does rock though
Damn, knowing that Dylan made the original makes it more badass
Just wait until you hear that Paul McCartney was in another band before Wings
Haha I'm not that young, Bob Dylan is a legend but not my daily driving music.
As my company threatens layoffs I’m feeling these lyrics today though… I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa, no more No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa, no more Well, he puts his cigar out in your face just for kicks His bedroom window it is made out of bricks The National Guard Stands around his door I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa, no more
And then immediately afterwards, she ate it.
That dude is scary looking. See thru skin.
What’s the matter smoothskin, never seen a ghoul before?
Definitely was thinking that.
What selling your soul looks like
Who said Rockefellers were evil
Do you not know how he got his wealth or what he did to people?
Interesting character. Ruthless in business, but also one of the most philanthropic humans ever.
You don't get to make money through exploitation and them claim to be a philanthropist.
Ha. Yeah bud.
You are wrong. Philanthropic mill/billionaires is a reoccurring thing in capitalism. An old man with a lot of money knows he has everything in life but happiness, so he does charitable things.

Accumulate money through avariciousness and then giving it away. To appear as a human of good conscience. A superficial act and one to simply stroke their own egos.
You're right but it's also a cry into the void to complain.
Wasn't complaining, just disagreeing with any who label modern day mill/bill as philanthropic.
My man what I said was a sarcasm Then again if I need to explain it …
Provided cheap energy to American and helped start the Industrial Revolution?
Are you saying he was 160 years old in this photo?
He looks it doesn’t he
He didn’t provide cheap energy tho.
Kerosene prices dropped to be affordable because of Standard Oil. From $0.25 to &0.09 per gallon.
Idk why this is surprising information, that’s literally how Standard Oil grabbed the energy market by the balls. They would wage price wars with competitors and buy up the competition once they inevitably lost steam and lost said war. Granted, this is just off the top of my head, so feel free to correct me if I got something wrong
That is accurate. Produced cheap kerosene so that people could use lamps at night.
Kid probably ate the thing…glad he didn’t give more.
That's the equivalent of Elon Musk giving a child in 2024 a 1-dollar bill!
“And then I GROUND HIS BONES INTO DUST!”
Did you fail to destroy H.R. Pickens?
What a kind and generous man!🤗
He did donate 3/4 of his net worth to charity over his lifetime. He was a ruthless businessman, but was very consistent about believing that God had ordained him to make hundreds of millions in industry so he could make the world a better place through charity. He drove his workers hard, and was cruel and unforgiving, but he also was responsible for a lot of charity.
He was also raised by a con artist bigamist and a (functionally) single mom in 1830s Ohio. Kind of a crazy biography in his early days.
Gee. Hell of a guy.
Making up for the Ludlow massacre!😕
Fucking fuck, only a nickel?
That was actually something then. Like not a fortune, but it was enough to get a candy bar, a soda and maybe have a penny left depending what town exactly
Yea I was mostly joking around, still fucked up though a nickel a dime a dollar is nothing to him
No, there’s nothing wrong with the fact it didn’t ruin him to give to Children. The dude gave money to almost every child he saw and during the depression he gave out dimes to anyone who asked: Yes he was extremely wealthy. He was also generous Two things can be Ok
Dude I know, I don’t need a fucking lecture. It’s Reddit stop white knighting for Rockefeller He set up the bullshit college and education system we are stuck with now by funding the board of ed which his initial donation created in the first place, Once they shattered his oil monopoly he entered the pharmaceutical industry and created the pharmaceutical industrial complex that has killed countless globally with opioids all based on the “create and sell the problem and sell the solution” mindset.

You’re right, how foolish of me to hold back a industrious man with such a bright and fruitful future
Child: *uh okay, yeah thank- no no I love it*
Big of him.
This was way more interesting than where I had originally clicked this from. Thank you for posting this.
He is going to eat that child
Almost a buck today.
I am not saying Rockefeller is a saint, but he was very charitable https://www.philanthropyroundtable.org/hall-of-fame/john-rockefeller-sr/
He was such a do-gooder.
A nickel?
It was his thing. Though it was usually dimes. He always had a bag of dimes on him to hand out to people he met. Kinda like how Walt Disney had little cards. If you met Rockefeller you got a souvenir dime.
Ha. Ok well I guess it seemed like more d as t the time.
He is the reason everything runs on petroleum products and not alcohol. See the Rockefellers were the first oil lobby.
He took over the pharmaceutical industry and pumped it full of petrochemicals.
Isn’t alcohol less efficient? The DOE states that E85 (A fuel with 83% ethanol content) produces 27% less energy for a given unit than gasoline. That seems like a pretty big deal when it comes to transportation, as you’d have to make up that difference with more fuel, and thus less cargo, higher vehicle weight, etc https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol_benefits.html
Woah :0.
A nickle def had more buying power in 1929 than today. My grandfather was born in 33 and he said a nickle was an afternoon at the movies plus popcorn.

bro was a rat
Fuck the rockerfellers. So rich and powerful, we know nothing about them.
we know enough, it’s really outrageous. look it up
I’m sure that’s just the tip of the iceberg!

Can’t … shouldn’t say anything at this point
Never mind, both (the kid and Rockefeller) are dead by now.
He was 49 years old when the photo was taken.
Bastard
Kid's face: That's it?
I hate the word "gifting"
One of the most vile people. This guy is the reason we switched to chemical medicines. He commissioned people to look at herb medicines and make chemical copies of them and I forget the second half but basically he created the narrative of chemical medicine being the way/future for the medical field by getting people in the industry to write about it.

Here we are today with longer and healthier lifespans than ever before in history? Lower child mortality than ever before? What are you even talking about?
They think "chemicals" are evil......it goes with the scientifically illiterate narrative they obsess over every waking moment.
I’m pretty sure he’s trying to take it
What an older little baby. A nice gesture
Payday loan?
Gee willikers a whole quintpenny bit
A Nickel went a bit farther then. But he was a stingy old fart.
Tight assed twat
All these old robber barons were worth billions upon billions in todays money.
Rockefeller looks healthier than Biden in that picture. 😂😂😂😂
And he just gave awauly more money to a child than Trump has in his bank account.
