Money

[sweggeh]

They usually come together so either is good

[AirGauge23]

One gets you the other.

[DwnShft2Xcelr8]

One gets you the other.

This.

But if I could only take one, I'd take the money. Money buys you power, but power doesn't always guarantee money.

Money. I can do powerful shit with it.

[SupermanOnSteroids]

POWER!!!

but you gotta have money to go along with the power.

you get money. you're rich! what's next? you blow through it? just money alone =/= power. you gotta have the name and the connections. you gotta be the guy that makes one call and gets shit done no matter what the circumstances are. you got a trillion in the bank and no one's listnin to your shit, that shit just don't bode well with the people. and if you show up at a police station saying you're a trillionaire and deserve to be treated as such, you're getting punked.

i elect power. power means mofos know your name and are scared of you. you are someone. you show up at a place and people recognize who you are. power can easily earn you money. money can earn you power but only to a certain extent, untill you start using your power to earn more money in turn to get you more power.

you're a rich phuck showing up at a police station to get your henchman free and say you're that rich guy, you're getting laughed at. you show up at the police station to get your henchman free and say you're that powerful guy, they're setting your guy free without any charges.

so you have power. you get a crew to do some shit to make money. they make money. one of them gets arrested, they call you. you show up. you have power. you get that fool off scott free and that fool goes back to doing the same shit to make you more money. the story spreads and more people join your crew. more people working for you = more people making more money for you. you keep your guys hustling and you keep making more money. if anything bad happens you use your power to bail your crew out. your crew is working scott free and they know it. to them its the best job ever. they can do whatever they want. they'll make you the most money ever. why? because you have power. and therefore you can do what ever. that's how the illuminati works.

you have money, you're spending money to get acquire an illusion of power. you have real power, you're minting money without spending any power. your power is only gonna grow with each story of the use of your power.

the value of power is greater than the value of money.

so power.

gimmi power.

don't give me a billion dollars. give me unlimited power. i'll make more than a trillion.

[iamgine]

Money can buy power.

Power alone often don't work without money.

So money.

[Inactive]

The question doesn't make sense. The whole appeal of money is that it empowers you.

[tgan3]

money is power.

Power alone is just being a figurehead. You may have authority, but the ones pulling the strings behind are the ones with the money. Thus you will still be under the ones with money (If that makes sense to you)

[MJ(Mean John)]

Money is Power MF'er

[SupermanOnSteroids]

sure money can buy you power. but power can buy you so much more money if you know how to use it. it could get you things that money alone could never get you. i would take power every time.

[JEFFERSON MONEY]

Power.

Take a look at what power denotes.

"An organisms ability to manipulate its environment. Speed X Strength. An organisms ability to do work etc. etc. "

You can command people to do your bidding.

Money is a medium of exchange for services.

So why not directly have those services given to you just by virtue of your own volition?

Think Fidel Castro just beckoning forth a lccal Cuban honey to fornicate with that night. He could very well be $2million in debt. But power and influence granted him an army of people.. it granted him a cabinet of supporters. It created the FUKKING ILLUSION that this guy was God-like and subsequently magnetized women to obey him unquestionably. Same with Kissinger.

Or think of 'the old question would you rather be Goku or the richest man in the world. When you're physically mighty.. the FUN is in hunting deer to nourish your appetite, winning status with the power of your verbal wit, conquering foes to win humans respect which facilitates bonds conducive to happiness, and inevitably people will want to house you lol.

So become powerful.

[StephHamann]

Everybody who says money should agree with Melo staying in NY

[GimmeThat]

neither can guarantee of getting things done right.

functionality is what you want.

Fidel Castro is an okay example although most people would not have the personality to be him. One week as him with no money and most people would be thrown out and executed.

Goku though? lol we're not asking money vs a supernatural power. A more suitable comparison is being richest man vs being mariusz pudzianowski.

[dude77]

already addressed but yeah the question doesn't make sense .. power and money go hand in hand .. if you have power and influence, chances are you're very well off .. if you have power but not a lot of money then you just think you have power .. power and influence goes to the one who has the goods

[BoutPractice]

Money is a form of power, and true power is usually able to control (or check the influence of) money in some way.

The most obvious example is Janet Yellen: she may not be a billionaire, but she literally controls the money supply.

The president can get the whole military-industrial complex going through his decisions on war and peace.

Congressmen control the budget, and can wreck an entire industry if they so choose.

Note how easy it is for a congressional aide to become a lobbyist and earn a huge salary.

Freedom, happiness, and a sleepy conscience, however, are far more valuable than money and power. You're better off being a moderately well off university professor in the South of France or Italy, with good friends and good food, or a Buddhist monk who doesn't need anything, than say Richard Nixon, whose life must have been a nightmare.

Money

[MavsSuperFan]

Power overall is better.

In capitalist countries like the US money is power, so there is no difference. All powerful people eventually become rich.

Name a powerful person in the US that is not rich?

In many communist countries Power = the good life
Money = hanged from a tree

[MavsSuperFan]

Money can buy power.

Power alone often don't work without money.

So money.
In a capitalist country who is a powerful person that doesnt have money?

[Gr]

Money can buy power.

Blank out. If power doesn't work without money then it's not really power.

[Kensta]

Don't give a crap about power. I'll live my life with my money with no fcks given.
