Money may not "buy" happiness, but poverty definitely buys misery.

This needs to be higher. I have people in my family who have no concept that this is a real thing and I can't count the number of times I've been told or yelled at for saying I don't have time.

Really rich people can afford expensive accountants who know all the loopholes in tax laws. Poor people just have to shut up and pay.

This phallic rocket is soooo similar to a peeing d***

Rich folks can afford doctors, catering, NOT WORKING. Remember when Kim Kardashian was bored of social distancing, so she threw a party on a private island? Rich folks weren't crammed inside an apartment for 16 months with roommates. COVID does not impact the rich and the poor equally.

Remember how Ellen said she was so bored

"We're all in this together" they say while sitting in their family room....which is 5 times the size of my apartment.

I am struggling in my large 30 rooms mansion with giant garden and a large pool, with my stuff cooking and cleaning for me every day. How freaking awful for you! I had to be quarantined in one bedroom apartment without even balcony and I couldn't even throw away garbage (in Europe you have to go out), so it started to smell... But I can relate to the mansion thing, sure.

I genuinely hate it when the wealthy try to relate to people. I don't really know why. I just do.

They can all sit on it and swivel!

why does someone that sings or acts think they know so much about the bullshit they endorse? politics, hair care, covid, the list goes on. i don't care a tiny bit what your opinions are - just = "act & sing" - then shut-up.

Imagine feeling bored in a home with a gym, pool, home theatre etc

"We're all in the same boat" I beg to differ. You are in the Queen Mary and I am sharing a raft with 30 minimum wage individuals, 18 of which can't work because of the virus that you think is a hoax so you won't wear a mask. Let me climb down off my soap box.

Looking at you Ellen with your fancy indoor gym

I hate them showing off their "beautiful life"

And yet the celebrities continue to get the love and adoration of the regular people. Wonder why that is?

it's not so much rich kids that bother me with this - it's the mainstream middle-class who had the option of falling back on their parents if they failed, taking risks that would destroy people without that option.

If the punishment for breaking a law is a fine, that law only exists for the poor.

That's really shitty.

What if your parents don’t have money? What if you can’t afford school?

we are all in the same storm, but some are in big yachts and other only have a livejacket

I waited tables in college...had some older guy hand me a mediocre tip with the advice 'go get an education' ....like oh wow thanks, never thought of that...your $8 is really going to afford me that opportunity now...I was already in school full-time while also working full time to afford to go to school 🙄

There is just not enough space for them on Earth. They need "space".

Some do work hard and expand their wealth. Some others just become presidents of the country and grab more cash from the public funds.

You're not entitled to own a business. And if you can't pay your employees a living wage and benefits without your business failing, then it should fail. But they only love the free market when it benefits them. When it doesn't, they cry to the government for welfare.

Yet we still continue to fight amongst ourselves and won't join together. And these rich folks the government and these corporations know this. So who's really to blame? We all could band together and do something about it but we won't. Because nobody wants to listen or take the first step. So we're pretty much doing it to ourselves.

Just the luck of growing up in an environment where these possibilities were always real because your parents, their friends, your older siblings, relatives, etc were already achieving them (and they were because they had a similar start in life).I don't think these people understand how massive a hurdle that is that didn't exist in their life.

Yes, this. Being lucky is the single thing that dictate what your life will be like.

Bono!

Being able to afford a good education doesn't mean they learned anything.

That's been going on from the start. There are hundreds of cases where taxpayers still are paying for the cleaning of polluted areas while the companies have gone bust only to surface again under a new name. "Hey Shell, you owe use 15 billion for cleaning up the oil fields you abandoned." "Sorry, that was Shell-oil, they've gone bust, we're Shell and have got nothing to do with Shell-oil."

Charity work and charitable donations, including giving money to a homeless person, should be as discreet and private as possible.

I would have been hard-pressed to not beat the s**t out of this student if I saw that.

Or when they police people on welfare. In the U.S., rich folks get considerably more money through tax breaks than poor people ever do, but you don't hear proposals about drug testing them. Now people on SNAP (food stamps) on the other hand...

If she throws the rest away, she is not generous at all

The E.U. has just leaked plans to increase taxes on jet fuel as part of it's 'green' initiative. Which is fine. Except private jets will be exempt. Jacques! Sharpen the guillotine. It is time.

65m² in international system

And they don't want to train and expect entry level workers to have at least 1 year previous experience fresh out of High School.

"I've got too much money" *looks at poor person in need* "but not that much".

I agree with you on the yachts and private jets, but classic cars do very little damage (comparatively) to the planet as they are driven very little, and usually the rich tend to keep them as an investment and not drive them at all. I have more issue with the SUVs with ridiculously large engines that they do drive all over the place.

I was a pizza delivery driver in my long lost youth. Blue collar folks almost always tipped, and wealthy folks rarely did. I knew that if I was delivering to “The Island”, the richest neighborhood in my city, I was never going to get a tip.

everyone talk about that bottle thing, but i see nobody talks about how they track every footstep you make at work. If you are not efficient enough, you are out. Folks, that's not normal!

Not completely wrong though.

Oh God yes - I worked for a guy who SO bought into that s**t and breathed it out on the rest of us. It was thin, superficial rubbish and his tutoring business was thin and superficial and I left.

Gentrification sucks.
