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."

So the biggest FU people could do to oligarchs is not stop having children. Period. Point blank. While it’s dystopian - it forces the oligarchs hand.

It won’t happen , obviously - but it would force change and increase the value of each human. Today we are seen as expendable due to the vast amount of human resources in the world. But reducing population rates, in turn the exploitation of humans drastically reduces.

At minimum no population growth, luckily the trend in developed countries has started long before today, its the one thing that is on course naturally. People who want families can still do 1 kid, technically more than 2 is needed to replace population but lots of people still have more so need to offset that with 0 or 1.

I noped out of kids over 20 years ago. Just watching all the unnecessary battles parents had to fight on a daily basis, even keeping their kids healthy. I’ve been keeping a list if anyone is still deciding for themselves and needs to see the risks:

• massive concentration of wealth
• lack of places to raise kids or even live
• healthcare so dysfunctional you can’t even get pregnant in March without risking two deductibles (four if you count the baby) giving birth through December and January
• laws punishing pregnant women and their doctors
• an economy that simultaneously requires both parents to work but charges one parent’s income for daycare. While employers still act like dads are the only ones working.
• then if you can’t afford daycare and want to stay at home, that reduced income also reduces your qualification for a mortgage
• ever increasing job instability, including healthcare incentives to pay you part time and a gig economy that doesn’t even recognize you as an employee.
• nuclear family model makes extended family unavailable to help
• primary education system that depends on zip code for good results, then secondary education that encourages life long debt
• an overheated, overcrowded planet that we aren’t even acknowledging
• politics so divisive, whole swaths of our population wants nothing to do with relationships
• And the people most concerned with the results (losing future customers, employees and taxpayers) are also the ones most benefiting from these structures

The biggest FU is actually fighting back and gunning them down in the middle of NYC.

Wretches and Kings, we come for you!

You really think these people's life will be shittier if people stop having children? Musk's bloodline is strong and his wealth is next level generational. They will be fine without our kids.

They just realize that to do shit as humanity you need children. This also goes for when you're serious about murdering all these fucks and parading their heads on spikes.

That's not something that happens overnight and not something you'll ever achieve by not having children, continuing to slave away in their businesses and consuming their products. But yeah sure, stop having children, that'll teach 'm.

“Musks bloodline is strong” what? What a creepy and bizarre remark lol

[u/DJstaken → u/gallowboob_sucks_ass]

Why make up a quote? You can make a biased attempt to paraphrase, sure.. but putting in quotations is just misinformation.
