pouring every last penny into rent
and for what
Yeah but the middle class is probably bigger unless the Democrats managed to smuggle enough poor people in to create artificial wealth inequality
what happens when it hits a breaking point?
Most people on minimum wage are like working a summer job in high school
Or intellectually challenged
that's incredibly far from the truth
only half of minimum wage workers are under 25
only 4% of them don't have high school diplomas
Half of all min wage workers are under 25
that's 50% spanning the entire rest of the age demographics
a pretty damn big percentage
18-25 (50%) 25-70 (50%)
that's not "most" by any definition
doesnt like
30 something percent of the population live in or near poverty
So, a 7 year span vs a 45 year span and the 7 year span has half is what I'm saying
poverty rates are at 14% on average, up to 20% in some states
that's millions of people
Yeah but it means 86% of people or 80% are not in poverty
these are people with almost nothing left
nothing to lose but their chains, as it were
and the most dangerous type of person is someone with more to die for than to live for
and guess what?
You can't really have a revolution with 16% of the population
we have over 40 million people like that
you think it's just people in poverty who will revolt?
yeah they'll start
but then it'll be the people just above the poverty line
and then just above that
people realizing "this is a thing that can happen and is happening"
Well like I'm pretty much in the very middle, (52% of white male income) and I feel like I have a lot of money... Just need a girlfriend...
I mean I am 52 percentile
another world's possible, y'know
the automation we're all so afraid of could go towards helping everyone and not just a handful of people
revolution isnt only the poor and destitute but they make a good starting point
what are you afraid of?
I would maybe support socialism on peoples social skills. I am weak in that area even though I have some money. It would screw over people that have above average social skills though
Money isn't the only thing
