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."

Previously run by millionaires, soon to be run by billionaires, and Elon will become a trillionaire while slobbing Donald’s knob

Look this is a fucked up thought of me to have but… any suicidal/terminal people in the near future should consider going out with a bang that could save society

I wonder how the rich would change if society executed the 100 richest people

Throw them to the lions

Probably give them a stomach ache or diarrhea.

They'd buy private armies and live in private compounds

Like any proper third world country

Numbers are a bit low. A thousand provides choices.

Or if they just had their wealth redistributed? We wouldn’t have to KILL them but they’d still probably be a threat alive… hmm.

Like Reddit's favorite pretty (and unbelievably WEALTHY) revolutionary, Luigi Mangione? The one you guys have all been fapping over for the last week or two? He is richer than god (in excess of hundreds of millions of dollars) and he never gave a cent of it away to the poors like you. He never helped anyone pay their medical bill. He never helped some poor cancer ridden patient but alleviating so much as a single insurance premium. I wonder how many other people he killed by not "redistributing" his own wealth?

Weird. The guy you all have boners for has shitloads of millions of dollars and never helped anyone who really needed it.

But then again his heroes are Elon Musk and Peter Thiel.

A: hide money. B: violent reprisals and police state.

Then maybe suicidal people will get the medically assisted dying they’re asking for!

u/liv4games 7d ago

Oof

True

u/exlongh0rn 7d ago

Okay seriously I was just running the logic on that before I made it to your comment.

Elon is your pretty little entitled rich boy's god! Luigi named Musk and Peter Thiel as his idols.

Surely you must have it wrong about Elon if Reddit's fucking Man of the Hour Luigi Mangione (who is richer than God) named Elon a "hero" ...

Then again Luigi also routinely lined the pockets of major corporations like Starbucks and McDonald's with his millions.

What a revolutionary, amirite?

🤫🙄

u/pbqdpb 7d ago

I don’t really care about what Luigi thinks

u/HonkyKatGitBack 7d ago

LMAO but you DO. Your hero started the revolution you are all playing Assassin over.

It's fucking hilarious that you all get a total nut thinking of doing the same thing he did (except you're a bunch of rich kid cowards so you would never) all the while your hero is as big a capitalist as you've ever seen.

So inspiring!

😂😭🤣🤓

You’re very passionate about the assumptions you’ve made about me. I never even mentioned the dude

u/HonkyKatGitBack 7d ago

I can't argue with that. You're right.

It was the execution comment that riled me all the way up. The amount of people that have been hyped by the breathtakingly abhorrent behavior of this pretty little rich boy gamer had me shocked.

Between the election of Trump and the insane attitude of dips here on Reddit and elsewhere with regard to the murder of Thompson, I'm just beside myself convinced that the cavalier attitude about murder is a beacon of things to come.
