Welcome to the US where every business screws every customer in any way they can imagine until it turns into a global catastrophe.

So they make you go in to the office to work remotely anyways? Companies: "Can you come in to the office to check your email" But I can check it from home and save an hour and a half drive time. "Sure, but we have an office and you will use it or be replaced pleb"

Probably ebay, lots of collectors on there.

Over $400k is not really mid and lower income.

@BTrain-is8ch The whole "American Dream" was based around the idea that you could get/create a job that you like and that you can take pride in. That's why we are SUPPOSED to care about our jobs. So, your post only further supports the op's message.

So, like the Bob Ross of finance? I think those are opposing ideas. lol

The Federal Reserve is a misnomer. It's neither federal nor does it have any reserves. Bankers just control everything to ensure their own power and rewards.

@Davidsworldtravels Definition of greed: a selfish and excessive desire for more of something (such as money) than is needed. lol

When your income is a million dollars a month, taxes cease to have any meaning. Even at a 47% tax rate he's still making at least over half a mill a month and we all know it's more than that with sponsors etc.

@HH-le1vi your right, only 40% of people being homeless ain't that bad. Definitely won't have any downward wage pressure on the rest. nope.

You are WAY too easy on these scammers. None of this seems legit at all. They are like Donald Trump. If they lie about being rich to enough people then eventually they will find suckers who will give them free money.

@datnguyenp Yeah and that's why the price crashes are so steep. All the leveraged trading.

The Keystone XL pipeline has nothing to do with anything, especially gas prices. Considering that it doesn't even exist and we are already getting the same crappy oil via shipping, it would make no difference anyway. Also, a pipeline does not create oil, it just moves it more economically from point A (canada) to point B (us), minus more oil spills.

@kadedah2077 No, you don't have to wait because wash sales don't apply to bitcoin.

Being frugal isn't going to make you rich, that's ridiculous. It's just how we in the US have to live cause our country is run by oligarchs that we have to pay to rob us. You may have saved some money by being frugal but you MADE most of your money via real estate, youtube, etc. AND also were frugal. This whole "cancel netflix and you'd be rich" idea is just rich-people propaganda to blame you for being poor when there are no good jobs left that haven't been sent overseas and corporations raise their prices 50% cause they are monopolies and they can.

@FernandoMartinez-pv1id It's about the same. Plus why do we need to spend $740 billion on military? That's literally more than the next 10 top military spending countries combined!!! If we can't spend more on the health of our own citizens than we do on our own terrorist agendas then we have big big problems.

@kitn2507 You are not seriously suggesting that Jeff Bezos is a charitable philanthropists?

The whole idea of raising interest rates to crash demand is a ridiculous illusion. No matter what the price people still have to eat, drive to work, and live in a house..... I wonder what inflation is effecting the most.... It's almost as if inflation is just companies increasing prices on essentials because they can and want to make more money for their executives. (Obviously there are some supply chain issues making things more expensive as well but that doesn't explain the record profits and record margins we've been seeing does it.)

So what I'm getting is that the FED and corporations completely control the market and we are just along for the ride with our pittances if we are lucky. Always at the mercy of their whims. And since the top 0.1% own like 80% of the stock market, we are all basically fucked unless we get lucky and win the Squid games.. I mean... the lottery.

We all know that Amazon and ESPECIALLY Jeff Bezos don't pay much taxes.... And clearly jeff doesn't have a trillion in losses from previous years to take forward otherwise we would have been the richest man in the world decades ago.

The fact that people can job hop and double their salary in a couple years for the same job proves that companies are just taking advantage of workers and paying low wages because they can get away with it. If companies were paying fair wages we wouldn't have a billionaire problem.

Well said!

How is working remote "not showing up"?
