OK, so every person should just stop paying them right now. What are they gonna do if we all do it ? I wish.

Probably send the IRS after the biggest offenders, paid for with money they printed.

My coworker does ... he said the poor make more money than me or him and if we quit our jobs we'd be making just as much. I mean, we're in tech, I highly doubt the "poor" are as "rich" as he thinks. I had to tell him that I'm not a DOGE/Musk fan even though we live in Canada ... I said I'm very much a progressive. However, I asked him (since I don't have any kids and he does) if he'd like to cu...

Spreading cheek and pulling bootstraps at the same time?? You’ll go far!

How does one grab one's bootstraps without spreading cheek?

That would increase the costs astronomically, I don't see how that's feasible... and I've been very poor, and would still chose to live in a poor neighborhood with poor prices and cheap food. Dropping me off in the middle of Park Ave, where a sandwich can cost $20 or more? No thank you.

When wealthy people go move into walled off gardens, yes they price everything to keep people out. But in a mixed community, you end up with mixed and middle-of-the-road retail prices. We're not talking about dropping two impoverished people into Park Avenue; we're talking about a community that is reflective of the county's socio-economic distribution.

I always find that argument hilarious.

"They have it so easy! They make so much money!"

You do it, motherfucker! There's literally no barrier to entry.
