Welcome to trickle down economics

The fact the rich don’t see this is like the French Revolution is stupefying. If enough falls at the bottom, the rich are going to be cannibalized.

Amazing, we can still learn so much from them.

Although I appreciate your comment, I don’t think anything will come of it. There are too many other things that grab peoples attention. „Starve to stick it to the dems“ could be an unironical political slogan and people would do it. Same goes for „slave for the billionaires to become a billionaire yourself!“

The problem is that the general population is equally underequipped mentally as they are blinded by shiny stuff they‘ll never have.

Sadly. It’s why I don’t kids. I wouldn’t knowingly bring anyone, or anything into this shitshow of a world. We’re clearly not the smartest species, as the top wouldn’t be speed running itself off a cliff for a carrot on a stick 😂
