Joke is on them, I'm already poor.

The peasant doesn't ask questions when the senator buys out his farm for more than what it's worth.

@SidaFinn fucking crazy how that stuff works, that's why I'm not worried about it, because I've lived on what I can live by all my life, I've had to adjust to different budgets and shit like that, because I've never had a surplus of money. It's not what a lot of people think it is, a "crash" doesn't mean everyone is fucked and everything collapses in some apocalyptic nightmare. It means everything gets all whacky and wealth is transferred all over the place, in a net loss, but it doesn't mean everyone loses. Some people win. Most people lose. But people get rich as hell off of economic disasters. And poor people become middle class too.

@neonlightcabasag4043 nah fuck that, I make bad decisions, and I partied my ass off in my 20s. There aren't as many opportunities as there were for past generations, and it's not easy at all, but the opportunities exist, I just didn't focus on making good career and financial decisions when I was younger, I dug myself a hole. You're not completely wrong, our government is an absolute failure and they've screwed the middle man for decades, on purpose. But that still doesn't mean someone else is to blame for decisions I could have made better.

I feel like I'll be a historian in our not so distant future dystopia. I'm really good at talking bullshit and making nonsense sound exciting. It's my gift.

@Beater Bike Channel MFGA the barely making it middle class is going to be screwed. That's what's really scary, I know a lot of people like that, my brother, some of my good friends. They own a house, good job, everything is stable but it's a delicate balance of a steady income, they have a lot of money invested in stuff they don't actually own. The rich are obviously gonna be fine, they're gonna get more rich, the poor will be fine, because they've always been poor, it's the middle class that's fucked, and some upper middle class will get by, but it'll be chaos.

ReAL cOmMuNiSM hASneNt bEn tRyeD! I'm pretty sure the current US is the realest version of communism yet tried. Because the more they try it, the further it gets from what it is in their fantasies.

@neonlightcabasag4043 yea I hear what you're saying, I would definitely prefer less middle men in my life, if left to my own devices I could probably make more money based on my skill. I was never trying to say everything is fine and our economy is working as intended, it's not, at all. It's a goddamn trainwreck. Has been for decades. All I meant is that if I were financially driven, early, I could have made something, and anyone could have. Opportunities still exist. You just have to be fucking vicious, and know from a really young age that's what you want. That's the people who get ahead now. That's what the problem is too, the government needs to step the fuck off, because when they get involved they always end up protecting the people who don't need protection.
