      Americans are upset, but because they’ve been so propagandized, rather than rightfully blaming companies and capitalism, they blame things like “being woke”.

      I have literally heard some of these hogs say “our bosses do actually pay us a fair wage is those damn taxes!”

      Americans and America are total loss, the sooner these settlers Fuck off and vanish, the sooner we can recover.

        They only say this because they can see the tax deducted from their pay, if your pay chewue began with the amount of money you made the company and then had a big giant subtraction for what the boss takes they’d have some perspective. It’s cause taxes are honest about what’s going on.

    Are the kinds of people who write this (and for whom the article is intended) so ridiculously rich they think they eat because it’s a luxury they can afford rather than because they need to? Are they under the impression that starvation is just something stupid people believe exists?

    Or maybe they’re the opposite of babies when it comes to object permanence; they believe in it so much, that because they’ve never seen their cupboards and fridge empty, then to them it means it’s impossible for food to run out.

      I think it is actually not that far from the truth. If you’ve spent all your life inside the gilded bubble from which professional opinion-havers are drawn the concept of being broke is incomprehensible. They might have heard about it sometimes but emotionally it doesn’t make sense to them. They can only comprehend of financial trouble as bankrupting your business and having to start a new one or having to spend money from a savings account.

      cap-think No money, at all? No, that can’t be, nobody lives like that. None of the people I know have ever had trouble buying food. Those poors must be over-dramatising it.
