Just interesting food for thought.

3 Americans standing next to Trump on Inauguration Day have more wealth than 170 million Americans combined. 

Again, not a Bernie guy, but just think about it. 🧠

I’m having a similar journey, I went from being heavily anti-Bernie 10 years ago, too “Ehhhh, he’s not wrong,” on some issues.

There’s absolutely no way you can say that those 3, as INDIVIDUALS brought more value than 170 million Americans to the US economy.

And if you think that they’re great visionaries/builders, yeah, maybe, but so are you. 🫵 Don’t undervalue your own worth.

i used to not be a "Bernie guy" but as time goes on i find i disagree with him less and less

Could not agree more. What's worse is I have some friends RL that go "they should get it, they took the risk, put in the work, etc." I agree they should get rewarded, but zoom out for a second...assume you're an employee at one of those employees, and have done really well -- net worth $10m. They're still worth 84500x more than you. 🤯 Helps put things in perspective. Did they really put THAT much more work/take THAT many risks over the $10m employee? 

Also hot take, but I also think a lot of that mentality stems from low self worth which is pretty sad.

It is obscene. I think a lot of people still don't understand just how bad wealth inequality has gotten. 338 $degen

I mean for a dude like me who’s more on the capitalist side of the spectrum, I don’t think a reasonable person can argue we don’t have a wealth inequality problem in the US.
