I assumed it was going to be one of the many "luxury hotel next to a favaela" pics.

Wow. And I bet it's one of the most heavily guarded/protected non gov't buildings in the country. Insult upon injury :francis:

The scary thing is how close some people are to being there.



A lot of people were giving her shyt acting like $200 left is a lot, but not when you get surprised by life.

I completely agree with her and I brought it up numerous times on here, especially for us here living in Cali. We didn't get these kinds of degrees to penny pinch, but when you have engineers struggling to find salary that keeps up, then there's a big problem. So I imagine many others are struggling far worse.

First off, the taxes here are bullshyt (that seemingly are being pocketed and not being distributed back to the people in better services). Healthcare not free, shyt getting expensive everywhere, etc.




Another one of the biggest problems is that many salaries aren't scaling.

When A.I really hits though that'll be a brand new set of problems for our generation and those that come after.
Think of your younger family members, shyt is going to suck for them unless they're in something like healthcare (which is highly stressful).

Oh there's a lot of people that feel that way. Look at TLR, social media, Bob the cac at the work, Dre the aspiring entrepreneur.

"These McDonald's workers want a higher wage? :camby:

"These homeless people need to stop begging and work three jobs if they want to survive"

Vs.

"Damn Elon Musk just received (x) amount of money in forms tax payers money? :wow: :blessed: He getting the bag! Capitalism!"

"Why are y'all mad the banks are getting bailed out? Stop hating:stopitslime: "

It's practiced though. Nobody has to say it. Country rails against socialism when it's practiced at multiple levels and has been for decades.

Also don't get me started on taxes. If a wealthy person doesn't wanna pay taxes they could get a fresh from college accountant to make sure they don't have to and many don't. The ones that do budget for it and could care less. 'Taxes and socialism' are the top right wing boogeymen for the past 3 or 4 decades and it only works on the uneducated. Most republicans get tax refunds but stay worrying about tax rates. It's the goof of all time.

This is what you got out of the meme/picture:gucci:
yeah. the government builds beds for free, it's called homeless shelters. 5 thousand dollar beds are for people who work for them. without the profit motive, why the hell would that bed have been designed and built?

illustrated here. if you don't like capitalism, go buy one of these :heh:

What annual salary do I need to earn before I can hire one of those fresh out of college accounts and zero out my taxes?
