Writing for the outlet, Andrew Lisa explained that Americans hold a combined $160.35 trillion in wealth. To the average person, that sounds like quite the payday, but someone in the top 1% probably wouldn’t see it that way. According to Lisa, “The bottom 50% of the country shares less than 3% of that enormous pie, while the most fortunate 10% gorge on nearly all of it.”
There are approximately 340.11 million people in the U.S. If they all shared that $160.35 trillion, each person would come away with $471,465. Not only is that more than the average person could even imagine, but it only compounds when you consider how it would add up for families. For example, a couple would hold a combined $942,930, and a family of four would have $1.89 million. Because, of course, in an ideal world, wealth would be distributed evenly regardless of age.
Yeah I can tell you never did any of those jobs. If you did you’d realize how dumb this sounds.
People will start busy and interact with other people though events, hobbies, clubs. You know, not work. No one is getting yelled at in a drive through for fun. There are PLENTY of ways to meet and interact with people and keep busy without have a shit schedule, high pressure, and getting yelled at by the public.
Working those jobs are horrible and there are plenty (like cleaning toilets, or stocking shelves) where you don’t even interact with people. Also, you don’t get to pick your co workers. They aren’t all going to be your friends lol
But if you honestly think someone would work in fast food for fun, you are out of touch and sound like you’ve lived a pretty easy life to never have to work these hard jobs.
And you keep going back to the McDonald’s nutrition… I don’t think you’re following the convo lol
He screams from his sheltered, privileged bubble. The people you claim wouldn’t do it are the ones who will, because we’re not afraid of getting our delicate little hands dirty, and our fragile little feelings hurt.
From the guy that thinks people will work in fast food for fun. I’ve worked those jobs, I know how shitty they are. You seem to think it’s just a buddy hang out. Not only are you privileged you seem out of touch with normal people.
Are you having a stroke? You can get your hands dirty doing hobbies. I do carpentry and hunting. The difference is one is fulfilling and brings me happiness, where the other is a literal job thats purpose is to enrich the company I work for.
Do you like when people yell at you? I was in the USMC for 6 years, I could care less if I’m yelled at, but it’s not a fun pass time. If rather be hiking with my dog or going out with my wife. But you seem to think people just love getting yelled at. Probably because you’re a Karen that’s usually the one doing the yelling lol
I don’t know where this idea in your head comes from that people really want to get yelled at and they want to work hard for shit money. People want to grind to the bone up look tough and like a hard worker, to project some image where you’re proud that you’re taken advantage of. You’ve drank that corporate kool-aid deep my friend. I bet you think Walmart cares deeply about every employee too.
You seem like the kind of person that has never worked a day in their life and think work is just this fun pass time people want to do so bad. You are out of touch and delusional.
See, this has become work. And I get you’d argue online all day, because you’re not afraid to do the work and desperately need that human interaction. I mean, honestly, I’d be surprised if you put the work in to even read this comment in full. It’s a lot of words. But I have hobbies and people in my life I enjoy, so I’ll block you and go spend time with them. Kinda proving my point in the process.
Guess different people are cut from different cloth, then, like some can see past their own preferences and some can’t, then.
Just move on. This is why I chose not to argue with them.
Ok, honestly, I forgot to block you after that comment, but I’m kinda glad. I gotta say one last thing in hopes you see through your own BS.
Yeah, some people have self worth.
If your preference is to give your time to a company, 40 hours a week, for shit pay, doing shit work, getting yelled at, then sure. You have no self worth. You value making the company money more than you value your own time, growth, family, and hobbies. You don’t care about yourself, you want to be a cog in the machine so badly.
Me, if I didn’t have to work, I would learn new skills. Do my hobbies more. Work out more. Take the time to explore things I never had time for. Spend more time with friends and family. Travel to places I always wanted to see. You now, live and enjoy my life.
That’s just me, I value my time and my happiness. I’m sure you’d be just as happy flipping burgers while I did those things.
Gene a great life wasting it to make someone else more happy.
