tbf, you really learn just how rigged everything is when you get the first million. just enough you start to feel comfortable about going into serious business for yourself perhaps, to leave something behind for your kids or family so atleast 1-2 more people dont have to start from nothing again…then, depending on where you live the local robber barons flex their muscles and try to fuck you around.
only difference between the cities and rural america is most of these bumfuck city councils have less organized labor to contend with (which, US city-labor is already pretty pathetic)
How are those not things to be glad over? I’m very glad when I’m able to do those things because I’m not always able to do them. It makes me feel lucky and happy. Anyone who doesn’t feel those are things to be glad over need to check their privilege, they’re spoiled and shitty.
And I dislike greenpeace too, not defending them at all.
Greenpeace corporate propaganda.
Be glad you have something to eat
Be glad you get to sit in the sun
Be glad you get to socialise
Be glad you get to go outside
Wow. So much richness.
Bleak take. I thought it was about gratitude and reframing.
Reframing being oppressed
TIL having the food, time, relationships, and space that you want is actually bad. We must always desire for more
I feel like this is how self made billionaires think:
Oh my first million…yet Oh my first 10 million…yet Oh my first 100 million…yet Oh my first billion…yet
You don’t HAVE to be content with your wealth to find happiness at any level.
