“Oh shit! Rich people’s yacht money!”

And that patriot’s progeny eventually evolved into the great bald eagle.

Exemptions apply in certain States, read “miracled” for regional reprints.

Won't anybody think of the poor billionaires?

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Billionaires aren't poor, they're rich.

They are also better than us so that's why we shouldn't tax them and why we should give them lots of free stuff to encourage them to share with us.

But if we had their intelligence and work ethic we could be billionaires too.

Such sage wisdom from SatansMaggotyCumFart ❤️

How could you not believe someone called SatansMaggotyCumFart?

Just gotta pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Once you're high enough that gravity turns into calculus, congrats - you're a billionaire. If you're barely in the orbit it might decay, but get up in there and you can become a private tax on anything humanity does in this era

Billionaires aren’t poor, they’re rich.

Rich in material wealth, poor in terms of people actually liking or caring about them rather than their money.

Yeah, if you could go ahead and give me your access code to the copier, that'd be great. The economy is not in that bad of shape, people. In fact, in our "esteemed"local paper and in Time and USA Today they keep writing articles about how strong the economy actually is. It depends. In some ways it's stronger (more jobs and better pay, less unemployment) but in some ways it SEEMS much worse. But we're all actually better off than we were a few years ago. (Understanding that inflation is still going to be a thing).

The economy is the thing that feeds poor people. If you don’t want poor people to die of starvation, pay attention to the health of the economy.
