the system loves cruelty
criminalizing poverty and brutalizing criminals is what spins the wheels of capitalism
Our fault for not being born into rich families, I guess? :\
No, no, no; if you work really hard and really apply yourself, you too can become a titan of industry and make your billions of dollars. If you aren't at least a millionaire, it's because you are just too dumb and lazy to succeed. Go back to school, work longer hours, read more books, get better ideas. In the meantime, I'm hungry, flip my burger faster, and what do you mean you want more than $7.25/hour, it's not like this is a real job.
The biggest /s imaginable.
You all keep saying /s but they never do saying exactly that.
Yeah, I'm just specifying that I'm being sarcastic.
yep, fucking peasants. should know better than to think yourselves the equal of ~~hereditary~~ inherited-but-not-as-formally aristocracy.
