  • Nah dude. It’s not as complicated as that.

    It’s the same mentality that your neighbor has… I don’t have enough because someone else has slightly more than me. Tony across the street got the new car… so I should get a newer and better one than him!

    The .01% only hang out with each other, and they compete with each other. And they get jealous when their buddy has a cooler nuclear bunker than them, so they need that extra 10 million this year to ugprade their bunker.

    They are not evil, they are just people. And you’d behave exactly the same way in their situation. It’s how we are wired, to be stupid selfish jealous monkeys. You don’t exist to them, they are not thinking about you, only about themselves.

    Same thing when you go to your town meeting and your elderly neighbors are screaming bloody murder at their taxes going up $50 this year because they think children should go to school in unheated buildings.




  • I don’t go out because post covid everything costs 100% more and is 100% worse.

    I spend $60 on two beers and a mcdonalds quality hamburger + fries last week. F that. in 2019 that would have been 20 bucks. in a place that was crowded and it took me like 30m to get my food. and almost every place is like that now. double the price for half the service or quality of product.

    if going out was fun and affordable I’d do it more. I went out regularly before covid. I just don’t want to have to drop 30-40 bucks for a single beer and junk food meal anytime i want to socialize.

    all my old spots that were affordable, chill and fun, are gone. i used to hang out in coffee shops after work because they were quiet and i don’t drink… now they all closed at 2pm. bars are noisy and crowded and want $15+ for a cocktail and $10 for a budweiser. that used to be $10 and $5.
