For non-Americans basically what this guy is saying is all of America is like the state/ he's in, which is absolute bullshit. America is very different state to state, and no, we're not all driving huge gas guzzlers lined up to get burgers. Stop being ignorant.

If the skill set you offer is in demand and the pool of people is too small to meet demand you make a lot of money for that skill set.

Admittedly I really like Discord's user interface. Love the servers that can be organized by channel and channel type, have permissions sets for different roles, etc. All that good shit.
