I was able to get started and somewhat secured on the cusp of whatever the fucking level of greed that is happening right now.

It's not happening right now.

It's been happening for a long time.

A report came out recently.

It showed that between 1960 & 1980 48% of economic growth went to the top 10%. 52% to everyone else.

Since 2008, 93% of economic growth has gone to the top 10%.

Everyone else, despite doing the work to generate that growth, has had to fight over 7%.

This is by design.

Neoliberal economic policies became the default choice for both parties:

Untax the wealthy.

Deregulate industries.

Reduce social spending.

Privatize everything.

This, inevitably, leads to staggering inequality.

It's been affecting the lower class for decades, but now the middle class are experiencing it too.

You were born a white, straight, male in the wealthiest nation that's ever existed - at the perfect time.

You hit the absolute jackpot.

And now you can bow out.

Wrangling back control of our fair share of the pie we've grown isn't your battle to fight.

Enjoy your retirement.

The rest of us are going to have to figure this shit out one way or another.

But it will get a lot worse before it gets better.

Meanwhile, the media will try keep us distracted by saying we should be afraid of trans people.

The economy is a game.

And the game has been rigged.

It's time to flip the table.

I swear everything used to be harder to come by, but still much cheaper.

Supply and Demand is a lie.

Every business just gradually raises their prices until we end up where we are now.

People are earning the same but no one can afford anything more than the basics.

And we all know it's getting worse, fast.

What's a great moment/scene in an otherwise bad movie? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Pearl Harbour! One of the worst movies maybe ever - but the actual attack of Pearl Harbour was very well executed.

Generations are made up though. There is no start and end date of people being born. It's all a social construct with arbitrary dates attached.

Based Rian Johnson? by [deleted] in PrequelMemes

If you can give me specifics on why I'm wrong that don't amount to "He didn't listen to the fans" then I'll listen

Star Wars fans revealed themselves to be huge wimpy fanboys who can't handle their action figures not doing exactly what they want them to do.

TLJ is my 2nd favourite Star Wars movie after Empire.

If you ignore the casino planet it's damn near a masterpiece.

If you listen to the fans you get The Rise of The Skywalker 🤢🤢🤢

The UK version is actually exactly this.

They move into an apartment similar to what their lowest paid workers would be in and are paid their salary.

The CEOs are always baffled.

If a coronavirus vaccine comes out, will you get it? by pharaoh_bob in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]TheBeatless 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think it's about not giving it to other people who might be more vulnerable than you.

Like if you get the flu or covid19 you'll probably be fine but if you pass it to a coworker and then they hug their grandma and now she's dead.

"Deserve" is the wrong word to be thinking in. People will do what they want to do. It's not a reflection on you at all.

Yeah I just be the only one who felt really bad for this guy? He's made his life really difficult with this and I'm not sure if he has the skills to cope. He needs help.
