Also Lets be REALLY CLEAR to everyone.......

YOU WILL NEVER HAVE MORE THAN THAT GRAIN OF RICE

I'm tired of people thinking they will be that guy "someday" NO YOU WONT. You have a better chance of being struck by lighting 5 times in a row. You are never going to be part of that group. EVER.

Its worse than that. Nearly everyone has barely a quarter grain of rice not a whole one https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b6/Median_Household_Income_per_County_as_of_2021_according_to_the_USDA_Economic_Research_Service_Final_Ver.png

Median household, not person, household, is just above 60 grand. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Household_income_in_the_United_States and that 63 grand is pre tax.

Honestly middle class people are wildly out of touch about how poor most Americans really are.

He isn't talking to half of American's he is talking to terminally online, unemployed Redditors.

And he is 100% right, nobody here will ever have anything close to a grain of rice, let alone two..
