Going from a 3x to 4x BW bench is a pretty legit brag

Trump issues a MISSIVE after his blowout in Wisconsin

Just a reminder that Trump is going to pivot to be more presidential

Maybe I should start hiding my money in offshore assets to avoid being taxed!

Maybe I should donate heavily to Republicans to get the top tax rate reduced, just to prepare for when I get rich.

..

he aint wrong

i bet trump has a tiny dick and GIANT balls

Yeah Trump is likely DONE HERE. All it took for the GOP to do it was to implode as a party.

lol sando

I've got to admit, I never expected tbab to get a job at all let alone become a writer for one of the leading presidential candidates.

There are around 100,000 dwarfs in the U.S.

Even the SPLC estimates the Klan's membership at 5,000.

Trojan Horses are way better than puppets, Trump confirmed moran

Sando what's the damage?

Mostly bc they are lazy in my experience

Because for many of those people their best options for doing so are (partly due to ability, partly due to systemic influences):

1) Win the lottery
2) Rob the 1% at gunpoint

Counter question: Being part of the 1% is clearly desirable; why don't many of the people in the 1% want anyone else to have their experiences?

I'm obv nowhere near a 1%er but answer Depends on the experience/product/service but mostly bc lots of stuff you can get as a 1%er derives some of its value from exclusivity in addition to the product or service itself. If everyone could buy a yacht then owning a yacht isn't as great or cool

So part of their self worth depends on keeping other people down, essentially?

And, clearly, their circumstances allow them to do so (because, well, 1%ness)?

I don't know that I fully buy those premises (the second one is manifestly correct; the first one is questionable), but if you do, isn't the logical conclusion for the non-1% to say "clearly you are trying to make the lives of the other 99% actively worse, so **** you we're going to rebalance accordingly?"

that's not true for young people. there are many millionaires and top 1%ers who were not on that path their whole life either by virtue of growing up in the middle or lower class, not graduating college, or not really finding a career until later in life. sure, if you're 55 years old and in the bottom 25% your best chance is probably of having one of your kids make it big. For younger people there are lots of opportunities to change careers and learn skills that can make you valuable or even start your own business.

I don't think that people in the 1% want to keep other people out in the true sense of excluding them from these experiences. They simply want to make sure they maintain those luxuries and worry that actions that would help others into the group that could afford these luxuries (even if it becomes the 3% who can now afford those things) would make their financial standing more fluid and eroding their purchasing power.

If everyone could rub thousand dollar bills on their titties it wouldn't be special anymore.

Put me in the category of too lazy to even try to be in the 1%. Top 15-20% or so is plenty for me.

nah, yachts would still be cool even if everyone had them. I mean, imagine how sick it would be to have a dozen people you know own a yacht? Yacht parties all summer long and huge ones since everyone you know will have access to one through some friend of theirs would be great. Can't wait til we have AI doing all the labor we need to live comfortably and building us massive yachts that the 50% can afford easily.

It doesn't necessarily require "keeping people down" the 1% would just have to continue succeeding/making more money than everyone else.

Like if everyone in the world could buy a Benz tomorrow, so long as 1%ers can all afford a lambo they are still protecting their exclusivity.

It's a concept that applies across all social classes tho. Like some middle class dude wearing Nike shoes that some poor dude can't afford. If nikes were $5 middle class dudes would just wear something else to signal their social status

If you look at % by age bracket, you are probably a 1%er for age.

Not me. I'd just buy a new pair of $5 Nikes more often than my current 2-3 year frequency.

working towards getting into the 1% is hard, time consuming and requires a great deal of frugality. and even after working like a dog for 45 years you've barely scraped into the ****ty end of the 1%

much smarter to just fall out of the correct vagina

Maybe if you ignored inherited wealth
