i just want a small property with a yard and a couple trees and room to grow some plants and tinker on projects
if only i didn't spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on avocado toast in my 20s
Take a look at moneybags over here being able to afford avocado toast!
Not since their 20s
I just don't want to be homeless when I am old. That's all I want. Having food and housing. A two room apartment for me and my husband would be nice. If I can use the public transport on top of that, I'm all set. A three room apartment would be a luxury and being able to go out every once in a while would be absolutely astronomical.
(I also want to have healthcare but I am in Germany so I got that going for me which is nice. )
Modest home. Stone fruit trees. Nice big pole barn for projects.
My wife and I have been searching for community and reasonable housing costs. My data analyst self began mad research of all sorts for about a year. Then, we moved into a vehicle and explored for eight months.
Boots on the ground, we learned that everything is much, much better if you're at least 40 minutes from the closest Walmart. This is harder than it seems. It'll likely be an hour+ commute to a workplace with decent pay. But, it's been consistently true wherever we've traveled (US): No Walmart nearby means a solid community and cheap land.
We found a place we like. My wife accepted a job offer today. We bought a 14' enclosed utility trailer and will build a temporary home in the two weeks before we leave, avoiding rent and mortgage until we find the perfect piece of land.
My plan was to steal one from a real estate company but i can try your thing
We can, but it requires not having billionaires.
No more billionaires, but everyone can be a millionaire.
The shortest path to equality is to greatly reduce taxes on the middle class and increase them on the wealthy.
It puzzles me why leftist parties don't all embrace lower taxes for the middle class.

They all do. My best guess as to why you'd say this is that you're including Democrats.
edit: Or, I could be a self-centered American that didn't consider others. I'll do better.
At risk of a strawman...

That's what's best for equality and for economic growth. Does this mean Democrats are horribly incompetent? Perhaps it's that equality and economic growth aren't their goals.

Functionally, we don't have one. The closest is the Green Party, but they're so powerless that they may as well not exist.
If you live in a society where you work a 40 hour week and you STILL can't afford basic things like shelter, food, utilities and healthcare, then the rich are stealing too goddamn much from you.
$40 billion per year to end world hunger.

BUT
avocado toast. 🥑
Solve world hunger for one meal. $40 billion worth of Avocado toast.
I doubt that number takes into account corruption.
It also doesn't account for corporate price gouging or the fact that the only reason people go hungry in the world is because letting them starve is more profitable than feeding them even the leftovers and about-to-go-off.
As well as what you said, theres also no reason not the presume the number could be much lower too.
Man if I had forty million bands i'd do it. Just rip off the bandaid. The world would be a better place.
That was a joke. Maybe end world hunger for a week.
I want wealth to be an indicator of a well-rounded member of society, instead of its current role as a proxy for sociopathy.
Also, how about relabelling excessive financial accumulation as something along the lines of ‘financial obesity’.
Nah I definitely want both. My current hobbies are expensive. My dream hobby of getting a pilots license and a small plane would be really expensive.
So you want the freedom of getting a pilots license and a small plane.
What if you used that plane every so often to fly others around? Or perhaps you share it with others like a time share?
It feels like there's an answer here. I'm just spit balling, though. I'm not even fully against capitalism, I'm just kind of tired of... Well... All the billionaires and dramatic wealth inequality.
Wanting to be rich would mean wanting to have more wealth hoarded than you can spend. That's psychotic and doesn't sound like what you want
Freedom doesn't get me one of these plus funds to run it: https://www.racingjunk.com/gt3-cup/184608118/2022-porsche-992-gt3-cup.html?category_id=5896&np_offset=-1#5
So both. For sure.
Trying to get rich is the selfish version of “every man for himself”, building a more equal society is the empathetic one: in a fair society there are no threats to seek your own life.
The problem is that a fair society is not a stable equilibrium. Selfish people profit in a fair society at the cost of others.
We intend to change the social contract.
To each for his ability; from each as much as we can take
😭
Sounds deep but isn't
Sounds deep but isn't
Title of your sex tape
lol literally. like yes... that's the point of being rich. unless you have literal scrouge mcduck fantasies of diving into an ocean of momey
It is shallow, sure. That doesn't, however mean that it isn't deep. Money is literally both and that's because it eats your shoe sole and your soul. Don't believe me? Good. Don't believe anything at all. I don't. I know what I know because I listen to "God" the Devil and the Dead. Six one way half a dozen the other. Heaven is what they don't explain.
Hold on. I need to thrown the fuck up. Lets deconstruct the evil here. I know exactly what the Devil is saying and why Heath Ledger was murdered by the CIA.
I just want freedom period. If that means being rich then I guess I’ll do that
u will work yourself to death and make everybody around you miserable
That's not freedom. Money is always a trap.
I mean, yeah. That's pretty much it
It's interesting how this scene was constructed. The blacksmiths and their table never appear outside except when guiding the one lost blacksmith back home. The old man is usually sleeping in the bar mumbling about his lost son (flute boy) until the pre-credits end sequence where they are reunited in the forest. The text boxes normally have a transparent background, but here it's a darkened floor tile from Sahasrahla's hut.
Even more more puzzling is how the imagery has absolutely nothing to do with the message. Like Dr. Manhattan Bobby on the moon complaining about capitalism.
Whoever created this did that. They probably put the floor tile over the original text.
Yeah, at first I thought this could be a rom hack, which was interesting to me. But the more I look, it's clearly just an edited picture; Link missing his shadow being the giveaway.
Op discovers fiat currency.
Not sure what your point is old man, but I can't get the freedom that the rich enjoy without being rich.
Deluding myself into a state of bliss when the mortgage is due doesn't help anyone, especially me.
Is... This a real Zelda mod? I want it.
What game is this?
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. It originally released for the SNES.
That’s a Bingo!
