MODERATORS
Which ones, I'm genuinely asking
You mean the pigs have gotten fatter? They will make some good bacon.
That's $2,000 per US citizen (approximately 350m People in the US)
Not shocking. Trump loves the wealthy.
The robber barons are back! Or rather, they never left.
Hmm that would be 7 years of snap benefits.
\70. The figures I have heard on NPR say that SNAP costs 100 million per year
The poor & dimwitted rubes who voted for trump see this as a good thing. They claim to be Christian but really they worship money.
thats why POCs conservative thirst over rich old white people. they see being white and or rich as the epitome of success.
Billionaires shouldn’t exist.
Blue shell the rich.
And the ones that so should be magnanimous to a fault.
"have gained"
That's an interesting way to phrase "have stolen".
If it makes you feel better, I've noticed a lot, lot more private security in the uber-rich neighborhood I have to pass to get to work.
They're scared.
Not scared enough.
340,099,990 Poorest Americans have each given an average of $2000 to the 10 other people in the country so far this year.
Kill them
The more sickening part is since COVID which Trump had purposely let onto our shores has made the number of billionaires in America at that time which was around 450 now more than double and now nearly 1000 people in this country have a billion dollars. And these people made it by being really greedy jacking up the prices of everything. They will only ever take and never give anything back. There will be no schools, no auditoriums, no days of honor for this scourge. Time for them to get humbled.
I'm hungry for some baguettes and French onion soup
Working as intended.
"It's the billionaires" is the answer to many of the world's worst problems.
Any minute now that trickle down effect is gonna feel like a torrential down poor of cash. Yup. Any minute now.
It'll probably start right after these job creators finish creating jobs for some of those estimated 7+ million unemployed Americans that are actively looking for work.
job creating in south east asia, india, and south america, eastern europe. where the salary is lower.
Oooooh, I hear it makes their flesh and liver taste super delicious.
I'd rather just use them as fertiliser.
The ones that have will taste the bast, some are saying? Something something about the meat being more plump and tender? It's like a Dubai chocolate bar. Never had one much less seen one but I'm willing to give it a try.
Wait for the dump
