I overheard two men, young white guys in their 20s at Shop Rite this morning in New Jersey, rambling about how food costs are rising there, and they blamed rich Americans.
I said to myself, "wow".
Is that is what America is coming to? Class envy?
I stood by a couple of soy boys at Fred Meyer one day discussing the Keurig machine and overheard “yeah, the inventor of these lives with guilt every day from what the wasted cups do to the planet...” I just giggled to myself and wondered how they got that stupid and naive.
Young people are taught two primary lessons —
1) “Have you identified someone that you don’t like? That person is Hitler.”
2) “Have you identified a situation that you don’t like? That is the fault of rich white men.”
Coming to?
Where in the hell have you been, under a rock?
“I just giggled to myself and wondered how they got that stupid and naive.”
No, they’re right about that:
Socialism means never feeling guilt for coveting others goods or house.
IE socialism is rationalization for the sins of murder, theft, coveting.
High food prices at Shop Rite in NJ? They should talk to their local Union about that. Union labor costs more, which raises the cost of goods and services.
Forget it, Jake. It’s New Jersey.
Sadly they never learned the Ten Commandments. What a world.
I’m sure his billions helps ease the guilt...
Small-minded people will always find someone to blame for life’s little issues like the cost of things going up. Rich people are an easy target but rarely to blame.
Two or four (I forget which exactly) years ago the people of my state actually voted to increase the minimum wage without a clue as to how that would affect prices of everything and the people on fixed low incomes because they wouldn’t get a raise. Naturally prices went up, people got their hours cut back or laid off, and the value of a dollar dropped for everyone. Very few saw a benefit from this but everyone felt the downside.
Stupid should hurt.
Marx was a resentful and hateful person. Socialism/Communism is all about 'getting even'.
The fruits of public education in the 21st century...
Every cup of coffee I brew is with a Keurig machine. I don’t know how I live with the guilt, but I do.
The cups are pretty wasteful though, no?
A rich person is someone who’s making a buck an hour more than you. (editorially speaking).
He’s not wrong. They are stupidly wasteful.
Marx also lived on the charity of others...he didnt work, but lived off of his wife and his wifes family and Engels (who had some money). So Marx did okay...but it is thought that at least one of his children died of malnutrition, because apparently the money was to support him in the lifestyle befitting a hero of the people (including hiring cooks and housekeepers) but not enough for his dependents.
I aint rich, yet I do OK. But I am a white person and I do know how to fight back, better than you can imagine. Your move.
