I feel bad for anyone living paycheck to paycheck because of their circumstances but at the end of the day this is life under modern capitalism.

So have some class solidarity for fucks sake then. If you think people making $150k are the people who are the problem in this society, I think you’re the one wildly out of touch.

The average CEO salary in the US is $832,576 right now, and they don’t actually fucking work.

I don’t think $150k wage people are the problem at all and never said that. Overpaid CEOs and corporations are wildly disgusting and the root of a lot our problems so I guess I’m not sure what we’re arguing about.
