The government will never fight greed unless it infringes upon their own.

>>523939841
Well yea. 100k is the new minimum wage. Anyway, idk why everyone keeps blaming the politicians and faggots and it’s the normies and npc the problem. Everyone has become greedy, everyone has become a consumer, everyone advocates for accountability yet no one takes it itself. This is what happens to a narcissist society. You get what you voted for

You can expect the homeless population to grow rapidly in the coming years. Inflation & money printing is killing the middle & lower income folks & there is no relief coming.

They're not all that off.

I make $115kish a year, 3 kids and a wife. We have no childcare expenses since my wife stays at home and both cars are paid off. Groceries suck but the cost of utilities has gotten crazy - electric and natural gas are crazy these days. Home and auto insurance is also fucking ridiculous. We're only adding around ~$2k a month to savings; used to be far more pre-pandemic when I was making less.

Debt vs GDP "growth" since 2017 what a (((cOiNdEnCe) )))

National debt: From about $20 T $38 T+

From about $19.6 T ~$30.6 T

Shows that while the economy (GDP) has grown significantly, debt has grown even faster in absolute dollar terms over the same period. Do we understand what this is telling us?

printing money & buying your own debt changes the game but still the govt is essentially spending $10M to make $1M

This kind of financial structure allows the wealthy to grow their wealth as the act of printing money simply grows the assets value as the value of the dollars diminishes

When a central bank encounters a combination of 1) really high sovereign debt-to-GDP & 2) significant inflation from a commodity capex undersupply cycle, it's basically checkmate.
Checkmate in this context means they print into an inflation cycle, rather than tighten into it. & surprise, surprise, we are there NOW, but try not to spread the word because we are in the golden age

Seeing stuff like this makes me wonder how quickly america would collapse if people stopped consooming so much.

>>523939841
Poverty line should be $50,000 per person. So $200,000 for a family of 4.

Serfs had better work life balance than most people today do. The service industries have insane hours and multiple jobs. Even the successful can't be far from their phone. The invention of the smartphone and its consequences have been a disaster for humanity.

buddy, this isn't about theft. There needs to be limits, somehow, on greed. 100% taxation on all income over 50 million, something like that. You have no way of relating to how much money these people have while the people making it for them struggle in debt. When the world's wealthiest people can literally have anyone killed, and get away with it, and not even feel whatever it cost to accomplish, while people rot in the streets of the country that made them fabulously wealthy, the wealth difference is too great. There's a middle ground between any system you know and hate, and one you accept out of naïve hope of getting rich and escaping the system you only grudgingly approve of.

The profits they "take" are not "theirs" because they've created a system their slaves cannot escape. If what's "theirs" isn't legitimately "theirs" I don't see the problem with taking it, but I have no intention of taking anything, anyway. Things can be restructured in motion. Elites can learn to live on less. After all, they expect all of us to do that constantly.

I fought my boss on my subordinate's salary, started him as a mechanical engineer at $55k. I'm like dude, I started at $60k doing essentially the same job a decade ago. How the fuck is he supposed to afford insurance/rent/gas/groceries/utilities and still bring anything home? Retirement for either of us is off the table. I have nothing saved.
