y'all. if you are reading this, you are unbelievably wealthy compared to most of the world. there's entire countries where the median income is a few dollars per day. even at minimum wage you make more per week than their whole year

Think for a sec about what the poorest half of humanity doesn't have.
It's existence however can still be useful if you happen to dispose of billionaire-shaped garbage.
