@stux@mstdn.social And they’re selling you a life that can’t exist without a “brain” you rent from them that sucks down way more water

@stux@mstdn.social After a lot of adjustments to a lot of indicators currently being used to determine things like who is "middle class" and etc, many countries like America actually have no middle class. Just "barely alive poor," "extremely poor," and "filthy rich who don't pay their taxes."

@stux@mstdn.social I don't think you hate people for being financially successful.

@stux@mstdn.social We had a politician in Ireland a long time ago - he was leader of the Labour Party and was accused of being a “Champagne Socialist”. His response: “Absolutely. I believe everybody should be able to drink Champagne!”

@stux@mstdn.social You should also be able to take a holiday, get sick, and buy an avocado/bottle of wine/new jumper if that floats your boat. Like. We. Could. In. The. 90s. When. We. Were. Working. For. Supposedly. Peanuts.

@stux@mstdn.social We have become the "almost upper class" after 50 years of investing and saving. We still live in our "starter" home and I drive a 14 year old car, tho. With luck we'll get through retirement and leave a nice sum to our kids and be able to help out those who need it. I've helped two lovely trans ladies get to Canada and put youngests girlfriend through college, for instance I hate people with wealth who still whine about paying fair wages and paying their taxes so others can simply live.

@stux@mstdn.social for 8 years I made enough to make mistakes. that's really the difference between poor and not poor. when you can barely cover your expenses, buying new things is a massive gamble. if the new thing turns out to be crap you're stuck with it until you can get a different one, if ever.
