    … median lifetime earnings for the typical U.S. worker stand at $1.7 million…

    And Musk makes over 3.5x that amount in a single day.

    Three and a half lifetimes of work per day, and nobody wants to do anything about the billionaire problem?

        Who will hold their nose and vote for whatever slop the Dems put up for them.

        Bernie toed the line. Enough of his supporters did the same. You need better than Bernie.

          Strongly disagree. He was a fantastic candidate with excellent values and knowledge. I door knocked for his campaign in a very red district and I feel confident based off my sample size of hundreds of people that he would have won.

      When are you mental midgets gonna realize money is so imaginary at this point, that it’s no longer finite? What anyone else has in the bank has zero bearing on what you have. Intellectually honest people would just admit they’re jealous instead

        If money is imaginary then why can’t we guarantee food, shelter, clothing, and education for every single human on this planet.

        You’re half right (there is no finite pool of money) but your conclusion is bonkers. Rich people are not spending their money, they’re using it to outbid each other for control of existing assets. So that they can overcharge ordinary people to access the things that they need.

        The boots are not that tasty. Stop fucking yourself over for a chance to lick them.

          Always the same. Someone says what amounts to quit whining and try, the excuses start
