So that's the thing... in the US even our poor are rich compared to the global poor.
But you're right, people in the US making $50k a year aren't really the problem. The problem is the people who have the average income of the 1%. That's people making almost $500k a year. Which is crazy to think that the income needed to join the global 1% is so much lower than the average income of the 1%.
The new people slang makes this confusing for me. In this context, I'm supposed to know that the baddies are in fact on the wrong side of history, correct? We're not talking about bombastic bombshells. See what I did there?
I find the sentiment is timeless but yes I realized there wasn't nearly enough Sammy J in the community response over the past couple weeks and feel like people need to be properly educated for the next time.
Bro, that stuff we did six to eight hours ago was SICK! All the hot people having fun and the street performer we saw! Can't wait to do that stuff with you again!

Really? There's usually a little stooge country in the middle east that follows suit.
SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 310d
Which one?
YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today · 3 pts · 310d
Israel. They are talking about Israel. Although the UK is kinda following suit as well, the US is funding Israel's current bullshit.

Well Saudi Arabia is also a stooge country of the US in the Middle East.

If we're being entirely honest in our numbers here we're going to sound like murderous psychopaths though 🤣

70 million people.
That's what it will take to rid us of the top 1%.
Of course, if we're going after the global 1% then that will be anyone making over approximately $55k USD per year.
db2@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 311d
Those numbers sound wrong. I make that and barely scrape by, and that's without stupid shit like a boat or a big truck or anything remotely like that.
Jarix@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 311d
Yes that's how many poor people there are in the world that you, with your modest wage, is still in the global 1%
Let that sit with you a moment. Puts things into perspective. Now think of the billionaires that exist.

In some countries outside the US, that would be enough for a person to be absolutely filthy rich.
That is how insanely overpriced some things are in the US, and it wasn't because of tariffs. It was corporations wanting as much profit as possible.
marcos@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 310d
You are not filthy rich if you depend on a salary. And that's not FU money basically anywhere.

It's more like 7000 people really fucking everything up, the 1% just sounds better then the 0.00001%

DarkFuture@lemmy.world · 20 pts · 310d
Yeah. No need to sugar coat it. I ran into a couple Charlie Kuck supporters at a bar a few weeks ago and when they brought him up my response was
"Assassination isn't great for our society, but I'm super glad he's dead."
When they started babbling back at me I just said
"The real question here is why you're sad a bad person is dead."
And then I just walked away because why waste my time with idiots?

No I've just noticed a distressing lack of the proper reaction pics and need to be sure everyone's stocked up for the next time
