    It’s crazy how Republicans have made a year’s salary of money into something that seems so impossible to do without making an NDA deal with a billionaire who cant keep his dick in his pants lmao.

    Like obviously that’s a lot at once anywhere you go back in time… but it’s also basically nothing in this fuck ass country where a few catastrophes can utterly obliterate your chances of ever leaving poverty.

      Let’s not get carried away here. I can make 50k eventually, but to be given it as a lump sum is a big deal. Like you said it’s a year’s salary.

      50k is enough to get a decent car and a down-payment on a decent home (outside of the major metros) nothing to sneeze at.

      Honestly a year’s wage is a lot to recieve all at once anywhere in the world.

        Knowing that there’s trillions in unpaid taxes, I feel as if though we are all deserved 20 hour work weeks and massive government subsidies while we get to watch a bunch of tech bros duke it out to the death in a gladiator style arena where their dork asses are given nothing but their own hands
