>The bottom 2% in terms of income in the United States, the bottom 5%, and for sure the top 1% all live better than John D. Rockefeller was living when I was six years old.>John D. Rockefeller was the richest man in the world and, today, you can get better medicine, better education, better entertainment, better transportation. You can do everything better than he could.>When I was born, the dentist didn't use novocaine!Why are people so ungrateful?
I can't afford to visit a dentist.
>>84930632You can actually tell someone is in the bottom 80% of income in the United States by their total lack of dental work and destroyed teeth as a result. This begins about elementary school age, so intense is the destruction of people by poverty in the USA.
>>84930728Or, y'know, they're just rich enough to do drugs for decades and decades. Look at Johnny Depp's grill for example.
>>84930728tooth cleaning is very cheap.
>>84930761least passive aggressive effeminate poster on the robot
>>84930632The secret to getting rich is defraud the government then call anyone who criticises you a racist
>>84930824I guess an economy made up of scammers scamming each other has a productive limit.
>>8493076670% of my income goes to rent even though I live with roommates. The rest goes to utilities, food, gas, car unsurance, toiletries. There is nothing left, no dental or healthcare ever.
>>84930632I want everything to be worse until it's cheap enough that it's possible to work a job that's attainable for everyone and have half of your money go toward getting ahead instead of all of it going to trying not to drown. Tear down building codes; standards for doctors, hospitals, and drugs; and car crash safety and emissions standards. Then, once we can finally afford to live at all, we can have a conversation about maybe apiring to live 'well' again.
>>84930632>When I was born, the dentist didn't use novocaine!Yeah, they just inject you with straight up heroin, why do boomers lie through their rotten dentures?
>>84930843yeah I know that you love snarling at strangers online because your life sucks but you should realize that people will only consider you to be even more unbearable to be around if you keep that up
