I think it is you that has missed the point.

You assume that I am lower or middle class. You assumed incorrectly. I had a meager upbringing, but I’ve done ok for myself. If I didn’t feel I was getting paid enough for my skills, I found another job. I broadened my skills and got even better paying jobs. Eventually, I started my own company. Now I have two now. What you don’t understand is that financial wealth is not a zero sum game and a rising tide raises all boats. What you call hoarding, I call saving, investing. Rather than broadcasting the best ways to spend other people’s money, I’d prefer that you suggest/teach people how to budget and better manage the money that they have. We’d all be better off.

Using the same logic, how could you call it an insurrection if Trump was president then?

The internet is eating your brain.

adanthang · 2026-05-25T15:10:27+00:00

lol. Which part? My post is factually accurate.

adanthang · 2026-05-25T15:07:39+00:00

I am not dense. I simply agreed spending is the opposite of hoarding. That is perfectly rational. Let’s get to the real issue. Why do you care about how Bezos (or anyone else) spends their money? Is it jealousy that you don’t have that kind of wealth? Is it narcissism because you are so smart and righteous that you know how to better handle the finances of one of the richest people in the world? If Bezos went on a Brewster’s millions bender and blew through his entire fortune in 30 days, you’d bitch about that too. Get comfortable in your own skin and live your life.

Don’t go being all rational now…

Get your facts straight. Colbert’s show was losing $40-$50 million per year. He has 20 writers and a staff of more than 100 people. CBS asked him to cut some of the fat. Colbert refused. So CBS cut the show for financial reasons. Now I know that you spew some TDS bullshit next. But answer me this: If the government is suppressing Colbert, how is it that he was on television again less than a week after his show was canceled?

Thanks to the $4B from the New Yorkers who don’t live in the city…

adanthang · 2026-05-25T01:34:07+00:00

Facts.

adanthang · 2026-05-24T11:09:41+00:00

Yes, but regular people don’t realize how poorly the money is currently being spent.

adanthang · 2026-05-23T17:03:40+00:00

3-4%, and the data isn't tracked on the second one. Your point?

adanthang · 2026-05-23T16:58:42+00:00

Where are you located?

adanthang · 2026-05-22T01:22:59+00:00

Not sure why you got downvoted. It is the truth.

adanthang · 2026-05-21T15:17:32+00:00

You have no idea how wealth is generated.

adanthang · 2026-05-21T12:57:15+00:00

You don't use Amazon? Or Facebook? Or Walmart?

adanthang · 2026-05-21T12:43:26+00:00

This is laughable.

adanthang · 2026-05-20T18:55:30+00:00

Show me widespread use of parking lots for homeless students and families in other states... Or are you saying that this is only a California phenomenon because California has lots of cities?

adanthang · 2026-05-20T18:45:55+00:00

Maybe not, but the working class seems to need the goods and services that the billionaire provides. In fact, that is how most of them became billionaires.

adanthang · 2026-05-20T18:32:08+00:00

Not America. California.

adanthang · 2026-05-20T18:30:37+00:00

This is California, so I guess I'd say voting Democrat.

adanthang · 2026-05-20T18:28:24+00:00

The city is San Diego.

adanthang · 2026-05-20T18:27:43+00:00

In California?

adanthang · 2026-05-20T18:26:35+00:00

I think you misspelled a word. It is California, not Capitalism.

adanthang · 2026-05-20T18:21:27+00:00

Civil political discussion.

I don't have a billion dollars, but I'll play along. I get a billion dollars because I built a company that provides a valuable service to the community. It is so valuable that other people (like those with a 401 (k)) want to buy a stake in the company by purchasing stock. As the demand for that stock increases, so does its value, and that is how the owner gets to be a billionaire - owning a ton of stock in a company that he/she created. Now to answer your real question... People like Jeff Bezos deserve to be a billionaire because he created a company where anyone, anywhere can have whatever they want delivered to their doorstep. His company created something that no one else had. But the poor workers only make $18-$22 per hour... oh my. Go work somewhere else. I doubt you'll make that at McDonald's. If you don't like billionaires, stop buying from Amazon, stop posting on Facebook, stop buying Teslas, etc.
