America is a dystopia, only multi-millionaires can even dream about retirement.

In 3rd world country any middle class worker is calmly retiring.

>>18235934
Americanized?

>>18235983
yes but iphones are very nutritious

>>18236069
don't be silly, of course a Cook knows what's nutritious

>>18235934
meritocracy.

It’s called late stage capitalism. That’s literally what you call it.

>>18235962
brrrrrr

Hard workers get rewarded

>>18236242
i call it stupidity i got enough money ready always to last me 2 years on a budget at least a year normally

>>18236242
What comes after that?

>>18235934
Justice well served. Era of mutt is coming to it´s end.

Darwinism faggot

>>18236808
>what is livestock

>>18236343
No. If you volunteer to work you will be rewarded by the market based on how hard your job is. Why do leftists struggle with capitalism so much?

>>18236889
>2020
>having savings
>not spending all your money before the dollar becomes worthless
>not selling off all your investments and crystallizing all your losses.

because we don't have a truly capitalist society because government keeps getting involved and choosing winners and losers, but they still think it's capitalism.

the ultimate redpill is that we will always be a slave to the human condition until we are able to transcend that condition via advanced technology, the true savior. otherwise humans will always fall prey to our base instincts in various ways, 7 deadly sins kind of stuff. religion as a metaphor for the mind and thoughts is pretty neat.

>>18237206
Protip: Capital picks the government, so government picking winners is still just capitalism at work.

>>18237206
The current political system is a PRODUCT of the free market! Don't blame the government for your woes. Covid-19 is a necessary correction - anyone who disagrees is a communist.

>>18237329
>>18237362
this doesn't change the point, which is that government and markets shouldn't mix. corporations aren't people, lobbyists shouldn't exist, everyone should have an equal shot at becoming the president or any elected office with the same amount of air time, donations shouldn't even happen but if they do they should be made public. this is just common sense.

the government shouldn't bail out boeing. if boeing is that necessary then at best they could nationalize it because it is apparently essential to national security and our survival.

>>18236247
they made the mistake of ever speaking to women

>>18235962
brrrrrrr

>>18236043
Idk why anybody who is making less than 150-200k a year is even planning on retiring in this shithole having to work until you're an old man just to survive without a job for the last 15 years of your life. Take advantage of the dollar and retire at 40 in a country like Uruguay, Chile, Greece, Portugal, Spain, Croatia, ect. Pretty much anywhere that is not usa, UK, Germany, Paris, Netherlands, Singapore, and Japan. This is what I'm doing making 80k a year and I'll have enough by 30-35. From there I can actually live and not wagecuck until death.

>>18235934
Were Americans always this poor?

>>18237671
>If the federal reserve didn't exist to shit out infinite amounts of money companies would start paying their employees in goods/services because it would be cheaper than acquiring/distributing dollars.
i can already see it. amazon paying their wagies in Amazonbucks and apple drones getting paid in applestore gift cards.

this is the future we're headed towards

>>18237632
how can someone making 80k a year have such a delusional outlook

you can live off a portfolio of $1 million in the vast majority of the US
if you can't you're a brainlet

>>18235934
Where does the money for the Trumbux come from? More government debt? Ffs we alredy have over 20 trillions of debt

>>18237416
I think the better question is, how is it not? Name me one successful market-based society in history that didn't end up with a government.

will the BRR be enough to offset the currency destruction from people being unable to pay denbt or are we headed to massive deflation?

>>18238062
"Vast majority" yeah rural backwaters penny pinching
Or I can just leave the country and live in capital cities with a rich man lifestyle with a million dollar profolio
Why anybody wouldn't take advantage of the extreme leg up you get from earning $ vs other currencies is beyond me
Even if I was the 1% in America outside of like two cities or a 150 acre homestead in the wilderness I would still leave

>>18237216
Lmao

sorry

>>18237300
Maybe Boeing shouldn't have spent all that money on avocado toast

>>18235962
BRRRRRRR

>>18237993
this is essentially what libra was trying to achieve; a corporate exchange of value. pegged to the dollar to start, part of the whitepaper states they aim to detach from the dollar peg entirely.

Personally I think these companies will all operate on their own internal ecosystem. Branded crypto currencies aka "reward points" could be useful to that sector, and that's why I like XDB

>>18236316
ok boomer

>>18238597
you can live like you're rich relative to the locals, which if you are accustomed to an American lifestyle means fuck all
if you seriously think you'd be better off and have a higher quality of life in Chile and Uruguay you are pants on head retarded

>>18235934
As you can see the corporations aren't doing too well either if they're asking for bailouts after 1 month of frozen/no work. All it proves is that everyone is over leveraged to hell and debt is the tool of the (((devil)))

>>18237300
Maybe corporations should stop wasting so much fucking money on stupjd shit. Friendly reminder that these same richfags actively try to drag down and leech off those around them that try to get ahead. Why do you think we have a rule of "too big to fail"?

They could learn how to be financially responsible and not leverage themselves up to their eyeballs but no "that's just leaving profits on the floor bro!", so instead they'll put their spare profit to a much more productive use: stock buybacks, executive bonuses, divvies, and other luxuries. If you've ever actually hanged around rich people in your life you'll know what I'm talking about, I was RAISED by these people. Fuck the 1%

>>18235934
It's easy to complain about the problems of the system you're in now but don't forget where we go if this system collapses. People go from having a 2 paycheck buffer between them and death to having a 1 second buffer of not being hypervigilant enough, and you got killed.

>>18235962
haha brrrrrrrrrrr

>>18235934

he needs to past temporary ubi that is unconditional

i couldn't receive because i didn't work last year. i was laid off and had been a neet ever since

>>18235934
You could be the 1% too. Just pull yourself up by your bootstraps.

>>18237300
>Maybe bootlickers should stop wasting so much time on their knees
FTFY

>>18237898
No this is mostly post 08, before that they had some savings. Really the whole economy since 2008 has be a bubble (other that gold and silver), this is the straw that broke the already dead camels back.

>>18235934
It is time to detect 'Fish heads' 1% born psychopath. But they are guarded by army of grabbers enslaved by greed and fear with suggested imagination.

>>18235934
the american dream

>>18239434
Capitalism = competition of usury by lie = Communism or any other ...-ism
Stop dreaming, get awareness about what you need? and what people around you need?
Human needs are universal. So serve life means satisfy human unmet needs, that brings real celebration of life. why you talking meaningless suggested to imagine things?
Wake up !

>>18238393
A delusion is a belief that is held with strong conviction despite superior evidence to the contrary.

We are headed to strongest and smart people awakening and mass slaughter of delusional zombies like you. You think and act based on non-existing reality , suggested to imagine terms names labels brands... Truth is not in peoples minds it is not real, everything you know is a lie. It is easy to kill you then to reach your understanding , because you are gone in dream that means nothing at all. Like a mental patient . People drown in the rivers of believe and will be washed away for the new beginning.
So either you except slavery most of people don't even understand usury and lie applied to them. Or you will be killed as impossible to deal with. Just by vaccine already and make favor to everyone else. =O) can you stop your own mind? You see? We need to stop your body to live there is no other option.

>>18235962
brrrrrr

>>18235934
nearly 60% of Americans are niggers and spics too, what a coincidence

>>18240079
Americans are so cucked lol.. You have to buy your freedom..

>>18235934
Does this joke have a punchline or are you just gonna leave it hanging?
