    I know man but with a million bucks you can choose to move somewhere cheap to live. The rest of us can’t do that because there aren’t good jobs in the cheap areas. There’s plenty of beautiful homes for $200k in my state but there all in the middle of nowhere 3 hour drive from the closest city that has a hospital.

      Okay, let’s say I move somewhere cheap. Now I have a million bucks.

      I can’t retire. Still got to work. Still need health insurance. Still at the whims of the fate of the universe.

      Is it more comfortable? Sure! I’d love that. But these people aren’t the problem. The yacht with the garage for a smaller yacht in it is the problem.

        I mean yeah it’s cheap so you can retire there lol, but those people are a problem because they’re still trying to become billionaires and also they’re the soldiers of the billionaires. For $100k a year theyre the ones denying good insurance claims and areesting peaceful protestors, Bezos and Musk themselves don’t hurt society with their own bodies, they pay upper middle class folk to do that for them. Then they retire with a mil or two in the bank and try to blame the people they agreed to work for their whole lives.
