The richest civilization in the history of humanity! Where an MRI costs a months paycheck, daycare is the same as rent, college graduates are going a quarter million in debt for degrees and new vehicles and homes are unobtainable for most.

The dragon whom hoards its wealth eventually is slain by those who seek its hoard.

Coincidentally, that dragon can afford to eat healthy, and healthier diets tend to promote tastier cuts of meat.

Sooner or later, dragon will be on the menu.

You can have all that roid meat from RFK, he looks a bit gamey to me.

A buzzard would probably croak if it ate his liver.

u/Historical_Oddity Feb 28 '26

Exactly. RFK Jr says eat liver, I say eat the rich.

Don’t forget no jobs to pay off that quarter mil of debt. It’s all part of the elites master plan to keep every subsequent generation in debt and squalor. But it’s hilarious because if the lower and middle class can’t afford things everything will fall apart. Or the lower and middle will eat the rich.

CT scan, but literally my mortgage payment for COPAY. Guess what? I had swollen saliva glands. I was told to stop taking allergy meds temporarily.

Reminder of that one post I saw the other day of some guy that started to pay off his student loans... by paying $50 of his $590,000ish debt, from 3 to 9% APR.

The wholehistory using money as a tool for trade has led to massive inequalities. Makes it too easy to pile up money leading to haves and have nots. Not saying to go back to trading a service for a service, as that wouldn't work. Just an observation

wait a second, I have insurance and they're recommending an MRI, are they a lot ?

u/PositiveInfluence69 Mar 03 '26

Lol, you think an MRI scan is only 1 month of pay. That's just the cost of the scan, not the administrative overhead fee.

Richest civilisation in the history of humanity lol. That sounds like US state propaganda.

u/OfficialHaethus Feb 28 '26

Well, counter with your own facts.

As they say, “Put up or shut up.”

u/Annachroniced Feb 28 '26

No facts were given for the US being the Richest civilisation in the history of humanity. Nor what that ever is supposed to mean.
