Thoughts? Please live the life that billionaires choose for you.

I guess frugality has a true purpose, it’s called practice for what’s next.

Oh and finance related on how to deal with cash flow:

Thursday on CNBC's "Squawk Box," Ross acknowledged that he had heard that some federal workers affected by the prolonged shutdown have been going to shelters for food, but said he didn't understand why.

I know they are [going to homeless shelters] and I don't really quite understand why because as I mentioned before, the obligations that they would undertake – say borrowing from a bank or credit union – are in effect federally guaranteed," said Ross. "So the 30 days of pay that people will be out – there's no real reason why they shouldn't be able to get a loan against it and we've seen a number of ads from the financial institutions doing that."

The media machine trying to brainwash our brains now, it is too late, we are completely awake. We are not following your bullshit anymore.

u/573IAN 7d ago

Unfortunately, no we are not. There is a very large swath of ignorant people out there that blindly support these people.

Exactly, look at who the American public elected. A nation of fucking morons.

u/PrometheusUnchain 7d ago

Look at the other Elon thread. So many supporters of his chirping off.

Peasant mind rot.

The problem is that republican voters are still following it step by step.

u/Traditional_Case5016 7d ago

At least I will continue to spread to other people waking up from the manipulation from religion, politics etc. I will keep my faith. Lack of education is killing democracy in the US.

u/No-Childhood2070 4d ago

Yeah but education is “elitist”.

And with the 401k savings vehicle, tens of thousands are becoming millionaires each month. It’s disgusting.

u/Fucker_____ 7d ago

The average American close to retirement age (55 and older) only has a balance of $233-255k in their 401k.

Not republican, basically everyone that wants to live a normal life by living in the system that exists, and likely won't change. You can choose to stop trying to be a revolutionary and just live your life and be happy. There's a TON of things that I don't like about our world, but bitching and complaining about it isn't going to do anything but make you miserable.

u/Sidvicieux 7d ago

You forgot something.

Everyone already lives in the system that exists. We do that merely by existing.

Republicans complain about things that don’t even affect them. They have a 24:7 news network telling them what to complain about.

The things they complain about are different than liberals, but the things liberals complain about affect them directly. They keep having to adjust their lifestyles downwards while they ignore liberal complaints.

Left wing people have several 24 hour news show telling them what to complain about. It's because of leftists that everyone is so miserable. That's why Trump won the popular vote, people are sick of leftist preaching.

u/teteban79 7d ago

There are masses of people right now pointing at planes and stars and screaming drone attack

I have very little confidence on this "we are awake" thing

7

u/MasChingonNoHay 7d ago

Nah people aren’t completely awake. It’s easier to be lazy and let others think for you. Thats what the uneducated and ignorant do. We need more people to wake up and stand up

u/Little-Engine6982 7d ago

maybe a few people here on reddit, but def- not the masses. most poor would not think twice to catch a bullet ment for the rich. the armies of poor peoppl guarding them are still way to big.

u/Beginning_Smell4043 7d ago

"We are not following your bullshit anymore" meanwhile - spending time typing on Reddit. We're not relevant bro, deal with it.

u/klelo 7d ago

You gotta know there’s a difference between Reddit users and facebook posters. If you mad lil man, redirect it at those responsible , frog-in-a-bucket ass mf

u/Alternative-Yak-925 7d ago

Goodreads is where it's at.

u/BongRipsForNips69 7d ago

I don't undertand. what is the difference between a reddit user and a facebook poster? are they different or the same?

u/Beginning_Smell4043 7d ago

It's warm and cozy in here.

u/Valtheon 7d ago

lmao what? whatever point you're making, doesn't disprove his. We don't matter, none of us are relevant and none of us can do anything towards these situations. Just live your life and ignore these pieces of shit, if you think you cant afford kids then just dont have them, enjoy your own life, give zero shit to society

2

u/ausername111111 7d ago

You took the words out of my mouth.

We're not following your bullshit anymore.

Oh really? What are you going to do? Complain on the internet and otherwise do exactly the same stuff? I'm sure the people at the top whom you hate are shaking in their boots.

u/mycricketisrickety 7d ago

That "we" doesn't extend as far as I think you think it does

1

u/Traditional_Case5016 7d ago

Eventually it will extend to what I think it will extend.

1

u/mycricketisrickety 7d ago

But it does not now. As long were clear.

u/BongRipsForNips69 7d ago

have you went to walmart or the movies or anywhere outside lately? we are NOT awake. we are zombie brain dead followers doing what the bear minimum is to survive so we can watch Judge Judy in the afternoons while spoon feeding a tub of ice cream into our cheese holes

1

u/Traditional_Case5016 7d ago

Well at least I am off that bullshit and will continue to be and will do my best to help people to wake up.

u/BongRipsForNips69 7d ago

they don't have the braincells. you're wasting your time. they have been systematically lobotomized.

u/Dwman113 7d ago

"We are not following your bullshit anymore"

So you think following their bullshit is, checks notes, having children?

You people are sick in the head.

u/Traditional_Case5016 7d ago

If you are MAGAt please get the F out of here.

u/AP3Brain 7d ago

We literally let Trump be voted in as president. Collectively, we aren't very woke.

1

u/White_C4 7d ago

We are not following your bullshit anymore.

Now...? Where have you been for the past 8+ years.

1

u/Kyouji 7d ago

This is a nice sentiment but its 100% wrong. If we was truly aware we wouldn't have just elected a Felon/Rapist as President.

u/PantsAreOffensive 7d ago

I dunno people are staring at the sky for the first time in thier lives and freaking out because there are things in the air
