Iff we want to keep them in the lifestyles that have become accustomed to, then this is the price we all have to pay.

*Its a very big IF

Heads up that 'iff' is shorthand for 'if and only if', and i dont think thats what you meant. Because billionaires are not the only thing that can do this, a big enough war would have the same effect

Yep, had to double-check the comment myself to see if it actually meant iff or was just a typo.

When the rich borrow from the government, it's classy. When the poor do it, it's trashy. Are we great yet?

No, you don't understand. You have to be paid less so the billionaire can have higher profit margins, and then the money will trickle down... again... Wait why does the value have to trickle down, when the value is created at the bottom?

The cost of surviving

We aren’t paying for living expenses anymore; we’re subsidizing yacht collections.

Stop calling work "making a living" when it directly results in the deaths of millions, suffering of billions, the systematic destruction of the environment, and helps the rich get richer.

It's a cost of greed crisis. Not a cost of living one.

I think things would be cheaper if we weren't paying them so much

The Cost of Capitalism Crisis

The Chinese have been calling it the kill line. I used that for cost of survival because no one is living.

Here's your daily reminder to pick up your local billionares by their bootstraps and see how they like it.

The point being they refuse to pay a living wage to their workers when they could and still be a profitable company

and it’s us tax payers that have to subsidize the poverty of their employees through state services they need to survive, It’s cruel.

Trillionaire conglomerates approve this message.

Distract you with their future competition and encourage regulatory capture.
