Yes but I'm in one of those places where "minorities are celebrated" - I'm a minority and I get the shit end of the stick still.
I'm in a blue state which is "supposedly better" and it still sucks ass and I still have to be effected by shitty culture wars going on.
Alchemy in Wakanda
haha come on. what are you talking about?
there's definitely a few different ones in Oregon.
or you could be dumb like me and go into debt to take a trip
What about those of us who are one step below that?
I'm not salary yet but they're talking about promotion where I would be required as salary which means -less work but I get paid the same and if there is suddenly more work, no over time.
But it pays more over all. And would even put me in a different tax bracket. I'm not there yet. So am I like, teetering on the edge of rich?
What about the cost of living? My rent keeps going up. I can't be rich if my rent is taking most of my paycheck can I?
call me a skeptic but I doubt there is someone here with a million dollar mortgage and multiple cars that's just sitting around, reading lemmy.
Like what, they're reading a thread on lemmy on the way to a business meeting in their private car?
Like who are you really yelling at.
I mean, so far we've hated the rich for quite some time now and its not really done much.
How else do you propose to fix a system set up to benefit a certain class, a class which has firmly entrenched itself around the levers of power, without tearing down the whole rotten structure and starting again.
Not them but my idea for changing things includes socially engineering different ideas until they corrupt those in power. That's the only way we can really get to the 1%.
I guess I'm just one of those people then. the worlds problems do tend to keep me up at night.
I legit have a hard time sleeping. Because all I can think is, everything sure does suck and people die for the wrong reasons.
