Nah, the filthy rich are living it up. On our backs.
What's sad is they have insane amounts of money and ZERO imagination. Instead they they rode dick rockets into space.
A hundred billion dollars is such a huge sum of money that no amount of imagination could ever spend it all. That's partly why we need to destroy the system that let's people accumulate that much stagnant wealth
Let's be clear, billionaires don't generally have billions of stagnant wealth, they have shares in giant companies worth billions. So technically the money is put to work keeping the companies going. They cannot legally sell all their shares at once. Not quite the same as billions in the bank, but the dividends alone generate more than any given dozen of us. Fuck em.
The defense budget for the US in 2024 is $842 billion. Surely someone is imagining a way to spend it all!
Background very much impacts how terrible life is.

Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.
Rules:
-
Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.
-
Respect one another.
-
All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.
-
Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.
Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.
