There are regular protests of thousands of people all across the country, but it never hits top headlines. There aren’t nearly as many as there should be, but we’re largely a broken people, a collective beaten dog cowed in the corner. We’re burnt out. Literally every direction we turn, things are falling apart. The working class is almost entirely one or two paychecks from homelessness. Minimum wage hasn’t increased in 15 years despite year after year of record earnings and productivity. A third of the country genuinely believes a rapist conman is their literal biblical savior.

We’re fucking tired, man.

Money can’t buy you happiness, but it can give you the foundation and support to look for it.

“I love you” on the only two things he loves, himself and money. Pretty spot on.

Well, sorta. Different materials bounce different wavelengths of light that our eyes catch and send to the brain to piece together and interpret color from. There is a degree of responsibility for what we see on the object the light bounces off of in the form of what wavelengths they absorb or reflect.

It’s just like our beloved Jesus said. Fuck the poor, fuck the sick, worship the rich. Or something, I’m a Republican, so I never actually read that book. /s

The cost is so much greater than the points you make, too. It’s just common sense that a healthy society is a productive society. Students getting the care they need can get a better education. Workers that aren’t stressed about unaffordable healthcare are innately healthier and can contribute more to society. A rising tide lifts all ships, and pretending that the bulk of our nation’s ocean can sink is only going to keep everyone down.

It is truly baffling to me how desperate some people are to believe this. What in human history has shown any indication that what is happening now is for any benefit other than the billionaires?
