So a billionaire is a real job now? I don't even have to imagine a billionaire being a pig, they all already are!

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 11 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

But imagine them in a childrens book doing their job

That is the hard ppart

This is just a stock image but it's not hard to imagine it being in a children's story. Besides, Scrooge McDuck is an existing character in a children's story that is a billionaire as a duck.

At least Scrooge McDuck isn't portrayed as having a healthy relationship with wealth.

But in this photo, they are throwing money, not doing their job

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

their "job" is literally none other than being rich

throwing money is part of that

the other part is swimming in a pool of money

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 5 points 18 hours ago

Swimming in a pool of and throwing money arent jobs, they are hobbies

If they dont do anything other than that, they are jobless

Being billionaire is not a job.

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

that's what I'm saying, but a pig could be it in a children's story

All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.

In this hypothetical situation, if you can't imagine a fanciful depiction of a pig doing it, then it isn't a job. But the opposite isn't necessarily true. Just because you can imagine a fanciful depiction of a pig doing it doesn't necessarily mean it is a job, just that it could be.
