    Democrats : “This is horrible, we really should do something about it!”

    Also Democrats : “Biden best president !”

    For people wondering, im not republican. Both Democrats and Republicans are horrible parties starving the people for their own profits.

          That sounds more like an R talking point. “Just get a better job, you’re not owed anything.” While they’re on welfare.

            I mean self-motivation can help you achieve amazing things but it’s important to be realistic and accept that we are not all going to be millionaires.

              And people who work menial jobs don’t deserve to live since they can’t afford healthcare. Those people are obviously lesser and should die.

              After all, if you wanted to live a long healthy life, they should’ve gone into a prosperous and productive career…like stock trading. Those guys have tons of money and thus deserve to live.

              Right?

              You realize that by the time today’s mortgages are paid off, a millionaire will be nearly anyone who owns a home, right? Being a millionaire isn’t the benchmark it used to be. It’s nothing. “Millionaire” is very, very close to what “middle class” used to be, and yet it’s still somehow completely unachievable to most.

              Yet somehow we have people walking around today that could literally give $1m to every person in Flint, MI (population 100k) today and still have more wealth than all of them combined. And they’d still be the 15th richest person out of some 8,000,000,000 other people.

              And people like you see them as an ally and inspiration.

              World is fucked.
