Sorry I misunderstood. I now see that you would prefer that the people of Ukraine get invaded and murdered by our cold war enemy and that we should just let it happen. You'd rather save that drop in the bucket rather than look at the entire federal budget and see how insignificant the Ukraine funding really is in the grande scheme of things. Got it.

Tips are an excuse for employers not to pay their employees a livable wage. If you rely on tips to get by, your employer doesn't deserve to be in business.

They get your point. The problem is you're using a false choice fallacy.

We don't have to choose between funding Ukraine's defense or improving infrastructure in the USA. We can do both. If you look a the US federal budget, you'll find that the money we send to Ukraine pales in comparison to our other spending. There are lots of places we could re-allocate funds to increase infrastructure spending without letting our allies (Ukraine) be invaded and murdered by our cold war enemy (Russia). The real question is why you'd rather see these people die than look at the federal budget.

Lol is reading a simple chart too difficult for you?

It's not stolen. It's an homage!

Why can't the super rich just be happy with what they have? They let their greed dictate their actions, have 0 empathy, and they're not intelligent enough to stop.

lmao. You've got a good sense of humor.

Found the useful idiot. Good job doing the billionaire's work for him!

Sex work is work. This woman did nothing wrong. Fuck the puritans who fired her.

Downvote Musk spam.

The billionaire doesn’t need your help ensuring him and his businesses stay in the 24 hour news cycle. Don’t be a useful idiot.

Who can reply? Accounts @ArmchairW mentioned can reply

Seems suspect to limit replies.

Jesus that's a slippery slope

Rising prices, stagnant wages, impossibility to own a house, governments run by idiots who only listen to the richest assholes. Is it really any wonder why people are pissed?

We need people to stand up to these boot licking assholes.

Shame our country doesn't take the separation of church and state seriously. This sort of mental deficiency should not be part of our government.

The SEC should unironically look into their ex CEO Riccitiello and their c-suite, but they won’t.

This isn't relevant to our original conversation, but yes.

Cops are class traitors that are essentially above the law. They issue fines that are a flat fee (rather than scaling % of wealth) so it only negatively impacts poor people.

Cops also abuse their power with the public having little recourse. Did the cop shoot your dog for no reason? You could sue them, but the money won't come from the asshole cop, it'll come from taxpayers and the cop will get a paid vacation.

HR's entire purpose is to protect corporations and pay everyone else as little as possible. 99% of people that work in HR are bootlickers that are bad for our society.

The SEC should unironically take a look at Riccitiello and their c-suite, but they won’t.

Taking a job that someone is offering a market-rate salary for is not "gaming the system". Them getting a good wage shouldn't make you upset. The fact that your boss pays you peanuts should make you upset. Don't be a crab in a bucket. Fight for better wages for yourself and the people around you.
