      I wouldn’t call highways much of a flex. I see what he’s after though.

      Xennials, Millennials, and GenZ might as well have lived through the Guilded Age and then the Great Depression.

      That’s how fucked we are and will be.

      EDIT: Gilded

      I’m GenX, barely. When I tell Millennials that I never saw a truly homeless person in San Francisco until I was in my mid-teens people just say I’m lying. Before that the Federal Housing Authority funded housing for everybody: women, kids, men, alcoholics, drug addicts, ex-cons, everyone.

      Yep. Lunch in schools, Parks had peewee football, and we had lifeguards at beaches.

      Now, we just get told we can’t have nice things. All of that money is being transferred to people who have enough.

      Stop defending people who take and take and then after they own everything say, “we shouldn’t have to give our money for welfare.” Your grandaddy _stole_ it all. No fucks given.

      You have tax break after tax break. We should be using what money we have left for pitchforks.

      We’re living in the time where those rich folks are getting their revenge for that time.

      What the current generations don’t seem to understand is that this shit requires immense sacrifice to maintain… I’m not sure we’ve got anymore gas.

      What did Jeff do specifically? Riding on the coattails of your neighbor’s success is socialism

      Concur. Life was pretty decent from childhood to early adulthood. 1962 relic here.

      The rich also had yachts and summer homes and piles of blow in the 60s and 70s, let’s not pretend they’re suddenly impoverished and need the tax cuts

      I asked ChatGPT why the world would look like if we transitioned the money tied up in billionaires pockets back to the masses and was shocked by some of the positive fallout that it told me could be possible. It’s AI so take it with a grain of salt but honestly try it if you want some hope.

      Yea, but, have you tried CORRUPTION? It’s all the rage now. Best country money can buy! 😎

      GIVE TEACHERS THREE FIGURE SALARIES!!!!!!! If we can give $17.76b to this orange troll, for NOTHING; then we can pay the people who EDUCATE our children….. 1776… what’s next?

      We’re at a point now where if the rich simply paid a decent amount of taxes, America could be an insanely good place to live.

      Near-future utopian levels of society.

      But the common man, like you or me, would be too free. We would have too many options. We wouldn’t have to rely on them for anything. How are they going to dictate us if we don’t need them?

      And what’s really depressing is many of the people that benefited from all of that as children and young parents are the same ones depriving the current generation
