    Your boss’s boss’s boss’s boss is a high functioning psychopath who wants to acclerate the collapse of civilization so he can buy everything for dirt cheap and sell it for billions while the rest of us starve. I wish that was an exaggeration but it’s really not. The people at the top either don’t feel empathy or they don’t let it influence their decisions

      I literally was just reading that Blackrock bought a bunch of homes for $300k and then immediately sold those house back to themselves for $700k raising the market value of all the houses in the area. Like why the actual fuck is this legal for the rich to scam but when poor people want any income it gets taxed like hell

        according to fox news, i’m a damn dirty hippie commie, but by European standards, I’m a moderate. I just want common sense shit. Higher taxes on those who can afford them, higher minimum wage so less people starve, stronger unions so the regular joes can negotiate with their psychopath bosses who only care about the bottom line.

        all that should be obvious, right? nothing revolutionary, just common sense and basic human decency
