    As I live alone and pay $500 a month just to be able to see a doctor, I am more and more enraged yet disillusioned the older I get. This is not living—this is fascistic technofeudalism.

    Messaging aside, be aware that this photo is edited, Musk wasn’t originally in it.

    No, this is Good vs Evil. Right vs Wrong. Truth vs Deception. But yeah, Billionaires are the dark half of those and develop extreme sociopathic megalomaniacal malignant narcissism apparently. How else can we explain it?

    What these dumbasses don’t realize is that they do rely on these things - every minimum or even low wage worker absolutely needs these services to make ends meet. These people aren’t just evil, they’re stupid.

        They died substantially more often and sooner. Look up the working conditions prior to the union wars in the US.

          How much is “substantially”? And why do you think union wars were the reason for the decrease in deaths? Maybe it’s just the technological progress or something.

            Statistics tell me there is a relation between healthcare and life expectation.

            https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/life-expectancy-vs-health-expenditure

            Note the US is the outlier here: that’s the only country in the world with significant spending and no universal healthcare system (only 10 countries in the world don’t have one). And even with that, medical debt is still the first cause of bankrupcy.

            If you slash medicaid, you go to the left of that chart, but you also go down. That’s a political choice, really.

            Fortunately, enough institutions were torn apart that soon the US will also be the exception for being unable to provide numbers for the years to come.

            Because I’m not diluting myself. You wanna continue being a dip shit regarding how improved workplace conditions decreased workplace deaths be my guest. I’m gonna actually use my brain, though.

            EDIT: got alittle heated and used some mentally ableist language. I’m trying to break that habit so I’ve edited that language to reflect that.

      The wealth gap can’t simply be captured by “more money”. Here’s my favorite visualization of the wealth gap for the ultra-rich. Enjoy!

    Fight a class war, not a culture war.

    And you, who thinks you are in the “upper class” by making 500k a year. You’re not, you are among the poor.

    We fight the people who own billions, not you.

      500k a year is a doctor or something. Someone who actually contributes to society. That’s someone who should be rich because of how hard they worked to get there plus how important they are to our society. Elon musk shouldn’t get paid a fucking dime.

      I mean technically how they make that 500k matters. If it’s all just being a landlord we are definitely fighting them too.

        We’ll burn that bridge when we get to it. Let’s handle the people owning a thousand homes first. Then move on the ones who own a dozen or less.
