    See and I disagree. Musk is a piece of shit yes but he’s merely playing the game better for a large variety of reasons.

    My point being, the game is not the problem. The problem is assholes. This happens in capitalism. It happens in communism. It happens everywhere. The problem is not the system the problem is assholes.

    Adam Smith would be rolling in his grave if he saw what became of capitalism.

    At what point was I defending the system? I make damn good money playing the game and I do my best to lift those around me.

    But the system is rigged and I have neither the time or capacity to fix it just like everyone else. It will have to get a lot worse before it gets better.

    But to think that you can just airdrop into a different system and not participate in the on youre in? I stand by what I said. Fincel. There i coined the term.

    Like we have a choice with society. I love calling peers bootlickers because they are trying to survive and possibly having more success than you.

    Hate the game not the player. What’s the economic equivalent of an incel?










  • Meh it’s all semantics. I consider myself middle class and I make almost 200$k a year. I have more in common with the homeless guy at the go train station than I do with the CIO of my company.

    I wish more people were this way. It’s why I still prefer taking public transit. It grounds me. I’d rather be around people struggling to get by than those who have never known what it’s like to put hotdogs in your mac & cheese.

    Edit - and to people going I’m rich. Im divorced and have 3 kids of which 2 are on the spectrum. I am living comfortably but if I lost my job I’m in the same boat or worse than some of you. I live modestly and do more than anyone may think to support as many people as I can.
