This is always a clash when I end up talking to my parents. My home country is slowly falling apart economically and they're completely fucking blind to it. Especially ironic cus one of em is a fucking portfolio manager.

Like when I even mention that affording anything it getting worse and worse each year, while the rich consistently break income records, they derail the discussion by saying like "but don't you have it great tho" (I earn well above average and still feel the pressure, THAT'S THE POINT) or mention that some rich assholes renovated some random castle and that without him it would juts be a ruin and that's sad or some shit.

And we aren't even getting that political yet. Just saying "hey mom, my future be looking unsustainable".

The CEO death rate due to gun violence is still less than the death rate of children in schools, so I don't know what they're worried about.

The mulch must flow

It's not that easy though, is United Healthcare now stopping what they do because that douche died?

More like 0.001% of an oil exec

My job is national/intl and very conservative. My home city is very progressive. Everyone has been saying the same shit for a long time and the lines are so blurry now, it feels like upper middle class people are starting to realize it's one class.

I want to know some awesome parents like you guys!! The parents I know aren’t very open about this stuff.

Me and my coworkers

"Mulch". New word for me :)

I feel this. I have adapted very well to small talk and kid talk, but veer off this and I realise how little I have in common with other parents. I even work in a field that should be full of lefties, but I can only think of one person there I can have these proper conversations with.

Luckily my neighbour is more on my wavelength when it comes to billionaires. Actually had a conversation today that went to cursing their existence within minutes. Can't remember what started it!

realistically the CEOs make the biggest scare, but the chain of command usually barely even reaches them in large companies. if you really want to stop a company from doing bad things it's not a super effective strategy. that being said if you're trying to make them feel unsafe then it's perfect, but it is also terrorism by definition. do with that what you will. edit: clarified what kind of company

Sure, but why not? One would think it would be a popular opinion.
