I’ve been living off ~17k/yr max and just getting the enhanced unemployment was a life changing amount and it only worked out to be what a $15 wage would get me. I literally do not understand what people do with their fucking money.

I used to be friends with a dude who was born in intense poverty, shot up into the 1% as the CEO of a medical tech company in the 90’s, lost everything in 2008, and died on welfare eating in soup kitchens.

He once told me that when he was rolling in it he was part of a bougie cigar club even though he wasn’t super into cigars. I asked him why and he said, “I dunno, man. It’s what you do. When you’ve got money, you spend it.”

Create post

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
