Liberal Elite is Fully Geared Up to be Insufferable For 4 More Years of “Resistance”

The real rich elite are not choosing between Paris or Barcelona. People who have to choose one of the destinations cause they can only afford one are not the enemy. The real rich people have waaaay more money.
They are deciding which to go to first
Which one to buy
Live hack: it’s easier to win when you beat down instead of up. You barely gain anything though
It doesn’t gain anything: just causes decay, much like we see playing out today.
You gain the gratification of making an already miserable life even more miserable. This might mean nothing to you, even disturb you, but then (to use Kropotkin’s phrasing from An Appeal to the Young), then you will be a socialist, you will be a Revolutionary.
Got a bill for a refill on one of my prescriptions… $660 for 30 days.
Check the manufacturer’s site. There’s a chance there’s a coupon card.
Check Cost Plus drugs if you haven’t already.
Or GoodRX
I’m more and more convinced that the plan is for anyone who isn’t a billionaire to just die, and they’ll figure out how to replace us with AI
They need the poor to help them feel better about themselves. They want to be able to look out at the unwashed masses from something expensive and congratulate themselves for being so blessed.
They just want the poor to die at the same rate they are replaced by new workers.
Exactly. This is why the forced birth topic is so important to them.
They care about fetuses but don’t care children are starving or can’t get healthcare.
They want religion to take the place of education to keep the poor in there place and it’s the cheapest way to keep them delusionally happy.

I think you’re on to something. However, they do still need people to buy their products and services. I’d say they want most poor people to go away, and keep middle to upper classes as consumers of high margin products and services.
If that’s the case, they’re not doing a very good job of maintaining the middle class. That segment is shrinking.
Why do you call them liberal elite when they’re are all sponsoring conservatives?
That wasn’t my title, but I think it’s part of the lefty “libs bad” thing regarding people who are centrists or support social liberal causes and capitalistic corporate behavior. I don’t know really, I think it’s just some russian troll bot garbage that got caught in the zeitgeist.
This one hits home.
No, I’m not a CEO.
But my wife and I last night were literally trying to decide if we want to go to Paris or Barcelona in the Spring.
Neither. The locals are tired of tourists. Go visit a mountain or something…
Please no, so many tourists on the mountains that I have to make reservations to walk the Manitou Incline
People who live in massive tourist Hotspots then complain about tourists should just move somewhere else :^)
Yes, how dare people enjoy where they live after working hard and voting for good policies.
Colorado isn’t the same now. So many people moving there that the mountains are now genuinely crowded with tourists. Tourists that use disposable THC vapes and leave them on trails so they can have a drug vacation.
Sorry but telling them not to live in a tourist area is the exact same energy as telling tourists where to go on their own personal vacation.
I do however completely take your side on the rampant littering and disrespect shown to tourist areas. It’s not cool.
Sell their house to who, ben?
Can’t afford to. Having lived in a tourist hotspot my whole life, I’ve been trying to get out since I was 18. The amount of homelessness and drug use/addiction is insane - highest amounts in the entire state, and there’s a stretch of road in the state capital called Methadone Mile.
Something happens once an area becomes a popular enough tourist spot: the economy stops getting a boost from tourism and simply becomes tourism. Everything becomes focused around catering to tourists, and 75% of businesses either close outside the tourist season or massively cut their hours and employees. The town I live in has 3 business sectors: restaurants, retail, and retirement homes. There’s another town here with a year-round population of 4,000 that can get up to 60,000 during the 4th of July holiday.
And these are the same complaints that I’ve heard countless times from people that I’ve talked who lived in other tourist areas. Rampant homelessness and addiction, and poor job opportunities.
So you can kindly fuck off with that snarky comment, you’ve clearly never lived in a tourist town yourself.
