Wait, they took their ball and went home and you’re defending that as a show of legitimacy?

I’m from hexbear, people are critical of it all the time on hexbear. You just can’t criticize China and not know the people there are far better off than those in the US
Omg this is the most redditor argument I’ve seen off reddit. No one likes a pedant.
Also, they do state they would pay off their mortgage, so not only are you a pedant but also a wrong one at that.
If you started with $100M, you definitely could buy yourself a house and car before donating the rest. Hell, you could buy it out of the $2M and still be better off than most folks.
Or less for less. I know a woman who is a manager of a dialysis clinic, as soon as she was making over 100k she started getting pushback from higher ups, having more oversight, and having her funds for extra services to patients / staff cut. It’s clear they want her out even though she has the lowest mortality in the region, because they don’t need more than beds filled (Medicaid pays) and legally required minimums to be met.
As opposed to the corrupt oligarchies liberal states are… I guess you just don’t call it corruption when it’s working as intended.
This just made China’s system click in my mind. Thanks Awoo
Socialism is also an economic system.
My partner worked in non-profits for years. Her advice is find local organizations (homeless shelters, local LGBT orgs, neighborhood revitalization orgs, ect.) that DO NOT have a national (central) office. Get to know their staff, their mission, and then make pledges to pay $X per month for the next X years. This is how they can best do the work they are passionate about to help people in need. Don’t put strings on the money and you are moving closer to mutual aid than tyranny.
Also, 66k with no rent or car payments.
This plan only costs you your humanity. You probably weren’t using it anyway.
Ah, thanks for the info. That’s actually what I suspect is happening with the new fractional shares thing, but the brokerage is the one retaining control.
Yup. Great article about that and many other failures of capitalism here if anyone wants something to share with a fence sitter in their life.
At least my profs who had their own textbook sold them cheap.
And still letting Comcast set the prices
The Dems are capitalists they have much more in common with Republicans than they do with my beliefs
