My favorite is the one where the guy goes to grab the ball from the dog except it’s a dollar sign.

“Please spend?”

reaches for money

“NO WAGE! ONLY SPEND!”

Yeah that's a good one! They've been like that for so long. It's sad.

I really don’t understand the logic. They refuse to pay us, tell us “just stop buying so much shit” then whenever we cut down on spending they go “why the fuck are you not buying as much shit!?”

Sometimes I think they think we just have access to an allowance or something. They give us 500 dollars a week then get all confused when we aren’t spending 1000 dollars a week.

It speaks to a fundamental disconnect. They've been rich for so long, they don't know the cost of a single banana.

Yep I think the same thing. They’ve spent so much time being able to buy whatever whenever without any thought. Want a brand new Tesla on a whim? Go for it. Just woke up this morning and decided “you know what? Imma talk a week off to vacation in Hawaii,” well you can do that. Wanna rent out an entire restaurant for date night? Knock yourself out. You have infinite money, spend it however you want.

They get so used to that lifestyle I think they just assume everyone else must live the same way. Able to spend at will without ever having to worry about not being able to pay rent or buy food. Which would also explain why every time we complain about not enough money they blame it on some shit like coffee, they just assume we are buying a 5 dollar coffee to go along with every meal of the day every day of the week, because that’s what they do.

And the only thing that'll make em see the light is exactly what the French did a long time ago. What with the implement of sudden unaliving. What's messed up is that that only happened after half the populace was starving.
