I don't understand how some people who are moderately wealthy are so bad at money.

If I was making 300k for ten years I'd probably be able to retire.

Fucking rich people complaining about poor people spending $2 on candy when they're blowing all their money

I don't think he can be president rules as written because he was born in Kampala, Uganda

He then said, “there are people who don’t work at all that get more money from the government than what we earn, why should they get money?”

What kind of insane welfare programs does he imagine exists?

Unemployment in new york, for example, caps out at $440/week for six months. That's $22,880/yr, ignoring that you only get half a year. That's under minimum wage here.

For comparison, entry level software jobs at startup here are easily $100k.

Meanwhile, the wealthy can take loans out against their stock or other collateral to access their wealth without paying taxes.

Sometimes people will be like, "Poor people should work for their money!" But none of those people seem to be upset that a lowly 10-millionaire can comfortably live on an extremely safe investment portfolio. Like, bringing in mid six figures on bonds and index funds without doing a damn thing.

I don't think an average user is going to know how to interpret the output of mount or findmt

"divisive" is such a stupid attack. It has no substance. Sometimes people are divided for good reasons!

Probably max out all skills by spending time in appropriate settings. If I can learn magic as per, say, mage the awakening, then I'm doing that as well.

Then I'm coming back here and fixing the world with extensive application of five point Mind and Fate magics.

i did some volunteering for zohran. Most of the people I talked to were very enthusiastic about him. I'm cautiously optimistic

For some reason all I could see was the Ork in work and was trying to figure out how orks feel about wealth inequality. Then I figured it out

My friend has a toddler and I always spoke to her like a regular person who just happened to not know things. She seemed to respect it a lot.

It's hard to break into the mainstream when the mainstream is increasingly owned by rich assholes. They have a lot of influence over culture. Not total control , but enough that many people who might have found punk instead brain rot through their day in Spotify or tiktok or whatever.

 

Like I saw one that was titled "I wonder why rule" and had a picture about overpaid CEOs or something.

Why "rule"? What's the origin of this format?
