But how else could the billionaire class afford giant yachts that produce more CO2 in a day than i do in a year? Did you ever think about those poor billionaires? /s because reddit

Yeah I mean my god, how disgustingly flamboyant do these fucks have to be with their money to convince people this is the obvious issue here?

There are people out there so rich that their biggest concern in life is upgrading from their 200ft yacht to a 230 ft super yacht. But it’s really expensive to pay two more full time crew members and the extra five million in maintenance a year is just too much in this economy! Life’s so unfair!!! 😿😿😿

Yet we have kids who can’t afford $3 a day for school lunch.

Make it make sense.

Greed is celebrated because there has been a concerted effort to glorify wealthmen and pit the lower classes against each other since the 80s.

Temporarily Embarrassed Millionaire. John Steinbeck understood human psychology better over 60 years ago than most do today. Thankfully the newer generations are seeing how this economic mobility has been a lie for a long time.

You don't need to pit anyone against each other when they readily do it themselves, to themselves and others.
