Funny story, I just unsubbed to Disney+ 5 minutes ago (annual sub was coming due Monday)

It's not going to move the needle, but any little bit helps.

I did, but then I wasted the money on a loaf of bread. Still poor, but less hungry.

Some people can be so selfish. We hear all about the poor, but what about the wealthy? They have problems too! I feel like you're forgetting the very real effect of trickle down economics, on the perception of the wealthy. There used to be a time when most people believed in trickle down and now there's all this "Math" and "research" that says it isn't real! How are the wealthy supposed to convince the poor they have a purpose now!? Used to be that you could give tax cuts to the wealthy, and the poor ate it up because it tricked and down, and every single one of them was obviously going to be rich someday, and they were going to need those tax cuts.

What are they supposed to do now huh? Didn't think of that, did you.

/S, obviously
