  • This has no factual basis.

    Yes it does.

    See I used as much logic in that response as u used in ur comment, so my answer is just as valid as yours. But since I used more logic in the comment you’re replying to, my original point still stands. Try again, lil bro.

    You seem like you think I’m attacking poor people for not having money to invest rather than making fun of people who believe the quoted statement.

    I do not give a flying fuck whether you were making fun of someone or trying to get a billionaire to see ur comment so they’d let u suck their dick, bootlicker. You’re wrong.

    Also billionaires can literally just use their stock value as cash, genius.

    Why you simp for billionaires bruh. U ain’t gonna become one.


  • No, like building public third spaces (that aren’t built around consumerism), building free housing, paying off people’s houses, paying for medical facilities, improvements to schools, public transit (or something like free mechanic services), paying off medical debt, taking care of homeless, etc.

    Billionaires are the ones with the power to change the status quo and fix so many issues with society.

    Look at what can be accomplished with just a portion of a single billionaires wealth in a single area (Mark Cuban with CostPlus). Billionaires have an ethical obligation to use their wealth for the food of humankind.


  • I am rejecting your characterization that I have been hostile, which is also not supported by the text your quoted.

    Starting a reply with “the argument is sloppy” is unfriendly, yes. Deny it all you want.

    Your first comment was 100% unnecessary if you’d spent 30 seconds to read further into the thread instead of taking those 30 seconds to tell me I’m wrong.

    That’s antagonistic.

    Now go look up the definition of hostile.

    Your tone consistently has escalated toward one that is petty and oppositional.

    Yeah bc ur comments from the first one have been utterly pointless, added nothing to the discussion, and shown that you have an inability to just admit when you’re wrong.

    The other person who took my comment seriously just up voted my reply saying my comment was satire and left it at that. U just got something up ur ass and can’t handle ppl correcting u.

    Bye lil bro, have fun arguing with the ether. Hope you can grow tf up someday.


  • So leading with “the argument is sloppy” is a nice friendly way of opening a conversation?

    Please tell me exactly what I’m broadly extrapolating or distorting here, because your comment makes broad accusations without actually talking specifics, while mine does exactly the opposite. If anything, ur the one extrapolating bs.

    You’re the one that chose to make a useless comment in the first place, don’t bitch when you get called out for it.

    You just literally don’t know how to accept/respond to satire, and when you realized you took satire seriously, instead of saying “oh okay” u got defensive and offended.

    Grow tf up dude. Let satire exist. Read other replies before adding to meaningless drivel like you did.



  • Creating confusion for you maybe. Nobody else took my comment that seriously.

    I said “shooting holes in a water tower to make trickle-down economics work” as a reply to someone making an obvious quip. IDK if you’ve just never been around leftist discussions, but joking about how fucked trickle-down economics is isn’t an endorsement of building megayachts that wreck the environment and provide no good to society.

    Stop being intentionally obtuse, or just don’t blame others for your inability to read between the lines.

    EDIT to add: I also explicitly stated it was satire in response to the only other comment that replied to mine taking it seriously. But even their comment just seemed more like a clarification for anyone else reading, not someone actually taking my comment seriously.



  • Almost the entirety of any rich person’s wealth is invested, because rich people generally pay smart people to handle their money.

    Damn, maybe poor people should just hire a full-time broker and give them the $20 they can spare this month and let that smart person invest it so they’re not poor anymore 🤓

    Being poor in the US is a literal trap. It is intentional. It is exploitation. The lack of financial education isn’t the fault of poor people who grew up going to schools that could barely afford to run, and/or went to school hungry.

    And once you’re poor, it can be extremely difficult to escape, bc the system is designed to punish poor ppl. Poor ppl sit on cash bc if it’s in a bank the money they need for food might get taken away bc of some bullshit overdraft fee or similar. I know bc I’ve been poor and know poor ppl.

    Poor people aren’t poor because they don’t invest wisely enough. They’re poor bc the system is designed in so many ways to keep it that way.

    Also rICh pEoPle dOnT Sit ON tHeiR MoNey ThEY iNvEsT it

    Yeah, putting billions of dollars into stocks and letting it sit there is still hoarding wealth. Call it “investing 🤓” or whatever. It’s still hoarding, it’s still immoral and detestable.

    You sound like you’re 17 and just started listening to Fox Business for financial advice.

    And as someone who lives right outside SF, yes it’s one of the best cities for public transit in the US, but it can still take 2 hours to go somewhere that would take 30mins in a car.

    Not all the time - sometimes it’s just as fast as a car, but often enough that it’s a deterrent.

    And mind you, I live literally across the street from a train stop, so public transit is way more convenient for me than for most in the area.
