Lady in MAGA shirt was in line behind me at the store, on her phone, all loud and obnoxious, then said to whoever, “I’m so into Game of Thrones, I’m on season 4.”
I paid, looked at her and said:
“Jon Snow kills Daenerys and Arya kills the Night King, have a great day.”
Texas just made weed a felony after over 70% of voters voted to legalize it. Is this what we call a democracy when the representatives of a state will openly defy the will of voters because incarceration rates went down so much and prisons lost money? Texas is a fucking republican-ran hellhole.
Elon Musk once jokingly offered to end World Hunger, asking how much it would cost as if it would be some incalculable number.
When the UN replied saying 6.6 Billion would be enough to immediately end Famine for the year he never responded, and a few months later bought Twitter for 44 Billion.
You struggle and suffer because people like him are allowed to exist, not because your neighbor is an immigrant.
A trillionair, yet his name does not appear on a single school, university, library, museum wing, hospital, stadium, arena, airport, or endowed chairs. What a colossal waste of a human lifetime.
Literally everyone deserves to go out for dinner, buy coffees, wear quality clothing and have fun experiences whilst also being able to afford rent, groceries, bills & have a little left over for savings no matter what job they do. Why is that so absurd to some people?
Yes and every citizen gets housing, health care, food and education. Whether youre a child, with disability, a senior, marginalized- your society has come together to ensure everyone is taken car of, this is a functional society.
When people say "I'd do anything for my child," everyone praises them, but when a parent risks crossing a border to save their child from war, poverty, or danger, suddenly they're treated like criminals.
I don't think people fully understand how much 1 billion is. If your salary was $100k with no tax, it would take you 10 years to become a millionaire, but 10,000 years to reach a billion. It is unethical for one person to be hoarding this much wealth while others cannot eat.
