🥱

Sorry, you need to brush up on your rhetoric and reading comprehension.

Might want to take a remedial English course at your local community college.

Gonna block you now.

What are you doing to help any of those people?

For one, not argue against them like you're doing right now. Like it or not, I can't solve these problems myself. Discussion and sharing of ideas is necessary to put solutions into action and change culture.

Sorry that needs to be spelled out for you, but you're clearly someone who thinks wealth should never be criticized.

Gonna block you now. Goodbye.

Yeah. That's definitely working harder than most people have throughout history for less.

My bad.

the first 5 of which never took off, but also consistently failed to drive me into bankruptcy.

Lol, don't blame your failed business ventures on me. If you think 'hard work' is all it takes to make a successful business, I'm sorry, that's just a testament to why 5 of your businesses failed.

and I’m finally not having to work 18 hour days 7 days a week.

Let me guess, you're also living a higher quality of life than the vast majority of people ever to live while working considerably less. And here you are, still finding ways to complain.

Please take your complaints to the people subsistence farming or picking through landfills for a living. All your post does is prove my point that you don't understand what hard work really is, or what the word need really means.

Then there is no discussion. My argument ever since your reply has been that the phenomenon that you pointed out can only happen in major cities: people working full-time but can't afford living quarters.

Yeah, of course a homeless person without a job needs more money. I'm not referring to them because there's honestly no point to. You knew I wasn't referring to them, which is why you had to specify some of the people there were working full-time jobs.

I'm referring to the people working jobs who feel they should get paid more while people around the world work harder for less. Those are the ones I do not take seriously.

You, the liar that you are, posted a picture of people living in tents then said some of them have full-time jobs? How much is some? And to those some, I am specifically referring that their money would go further outside of major cities.

Anyways. This entire argument is in bad faith. I can tell you're the kind of person who thinks more money is the solution to all working class problems. It isn't.

Gonna block you now.

Huh that doesn’t make anysense?

I mean, if you use your brain it makes perfect sense.

I don't watch ads. Youtube is profitable. I shouldn't have to watch ads on an already-profitable product.

Accepting less is just me lowering my standards so people richer than me can be even richer.

Might wanna brush up on that reading comprehension, lol.

Here's the major difference: we're not just talking about tent cities. You specifically said those were people with full-time jobs that couldn't afford living quarters.

Can you prove that the tent cities outside of major cities are primarily occupied by full-time workers?

There you go moving goalposts and trying to distort reality. This is why I don't trust you.

I think it's important what that technology is and priorities should matter.

Right now people prioritize whatever makes rich people richer faster, hence "we're passing a bunch of money around at the top."

Lots of people who contribute to the problem don't want to admit it, though.

so why are you continuing?

I was responding to this:

so I’m not sure why you’re still arguing about it.

How about you stop asking me questions or pretending to be confused so I don't have any further explanations to give?

Are you going to reply to this and be like "why are you still continuing"? Lol.

[–] atetulo@lemm.ee -4 points 1 year ago (7 children)

Because you're lying and I'm going to point it out as such.

I don't hold you above that behavior since you posted a picture of people in a major city then when it's pointed out they're in a major city you conveniently say "I don't live in a major city and it's the same way."

I wasn't born yesterday.

You may live outside of a major city, but then you don't have the problems from the picture you posted and the explanation you gave.
