    It’s weird that you think someone making more than 30-35% of the country is “poor”

        A) it’s fun how I can tell you’re from a wealthy family

        B) all averages are calculated the same way. That’s what “average” means. It’s literally a method of calculation.

            No it’s just calling out the “rich progressive savior” mindset, and it’s always been derogatory.

              It’s sure neat how when centrists can no longer defend exploitative labor practices, they attack the person they’re talking to. Usually it’s with “You don’t understand how anything works” or “I assume you’re young and therefore wrong.” “I assume you have money and are therefore wrong” is a new one.

                He’s wrong without his money, his money just informed me of why is he wrong in this particular way.

        Tell me you have rich parents without telling me you have rich parents.

          Tell me you expect people to pretend they’re not poor in order to validate exploitative practices of a massive corporation without telling me you’re a centrist.
