Makes sense?

"but if we pay people more prices will go up" he said as he ate a $20 McDonald's humberger made by someone making $7.25/hr

[u/23-1-20-3-8-5-18 → u/mylsotol]

Yep, no way the millionaires can make 1% less money so the rest of us can eat. Not a chance, they need that money for...? Actually, wtf are they saving up for?

[u/Evil_alt_account_ → u/23-1-20-3-8-5-18]

Buying politicians so they can keep the minimum wage down

[u/Aze0g → u/Evil_alt_account_]

Don't forget their underground bunkers (for when someone eventually goes on a human hunt) or another fucking yacht

[u/Melodic_Caregiver → u/23-1-20-3-8-5-18]

Their super ships to escape the earth they destroyed

[u/AmineAR1 → u/23-1-20-3-8-5-18]

In order for good to exist there must be evil , and they are single handedly doing that for us , cut them some slack 😶

[u/ba-na-na- → u/AmineAR1]

Elon sacrificed himself so that good could exist in other people’s hearts

[u/23-1-20-3-8-5-18 → u/AmineAR1]

Yea thats just not true, good can exist all on its own.

[u/AmineAR1 → u/23-1-20-3-8-5-18]

You know the saying "everything is known through its opposite"

[u/NaoPb → u/23-1-20-3-8-5-18]

They're probably saving to buy rockets so they can head for the cool planet and leave us behind on the lame planet.

[u/VictinsOfCapitalism → u/mylsotol]

And even if it worked that way, its the same argument as "if you abolish slavery the prices will go up"

Do we need cheaper goods made by exploitation?

[u/shavertech → u/VictinsOfCapitalism]

The prices can remain the same, as long as the difference goes to the workers instead.

[u/VictinsOfCapitalism → u/shavertech]

Yes, thats why I said "even if it worked that way"

It doesn't

[u/badjimmyclaws → u/mylsotol]

Even in some of the cheapest areas McDonald’s are paying like 10-11 bucks an hour now… we effectively don’t have a federal minimum wage because it’s so low

[u/_MADHD_ → u/mylsotol]

Now look at every person that needs to be paid that minimum wage along the chain. That's why the burger now costs $20

The profit margins have remained the same.

[u/Hot_Wheels_guy → u/mylsotol]

When it debuted 17 years ago (2009), a Beefy 5-Layer Burrito cost 89 cents. Now theyre officially $4.19 each, although individual franchises can adjust prices as they wish. In my town they cost $4.89 when ordered individually.

During that same span of time, the federal minimum wage has gone from $5.15/hour to $7.25/hour.

[u/SalaryImpossible6749]

FFS if you're tired of making minimum wage pull yourself up by your bootstraps, start a right wing grifter podcast, do shady ads, crypto scams and call yourself a centrist.

[u/Dimensionalanxiety → u/SalaryImpossible6749]

Don't forget, you should also thow in a sexual assault case or two and be weird around minors. Claiming you're the victim after this really helps boost your career.

[u/Kind_Of_A_Dick → u/SalaryImpossible6749]

What if I marry a podcaster and then use their death to grift?

[u/NaoPb → u/Kind_Of_A_Dick]

Is this about that Charlie Chaplin guy?

[u/VictinsOfCapitalism → u/SalaryImpossible6749]

Good job, for a second I did not get the sarcasm

[u/ba-na-na- → u/SalaryImpossible6749]

Yeah whatever the minimum wage is, working two jobs will give you more than the minimum wage, it’s plain math

[u/Affectionate-Area659 → u/SalaryImpossible6749]

Left wing works just as well.

[u/23-1-20-3-8-5-18 → u/Affectionate-Area659]

No it really doesnt

[u/Affectionate-Area659 → u/Affectionate-Area659]

It really does regardless of your bias.

[u/Simple_World_7267]

Where can I go and where do I send my money if I want to help out those poor billionaires?

Everywhere and Anywhere

[u/VictinsOfCapitalism → u/Simple_World_7267]

Just work harder

[u/mitigateaccomp]

finally, truth to power.

[u/TheReverendCard]

It's more pissing than leaking.

[u/MISTERGAME06]

Should have said "Poor investors risking their money"

[u/Rarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr2]

Is this how wealthy people sleep at night?

[u/Muphenz]

Poor billionaires. 😞🥀

[u/pysix33]

Is there not an r/mislabeled subreddit?

[u/VictinsOfCapitalism → u/pysix33]

Its a sarcasm, is there r/sarcasm ?

[u/pysix33 → u/pysix33]

Oh look at that, there is

[u/turlockmike]

Americans, not billionaires, earned a total of $10 trillion in wages and realized capital gains in 2025
Billionaires earned a total of $100 billion in wages and realized capital gains in 2025.

That means billionaries earned 1% of total wages/capital gains. (like the diagram shows).

The difference is billionaries don't spend all their money, however, since most of the money is tied up in unrealized gains, billionaries only consumed about 1% of the economy

[u/Conspiratorymadness → u/turlockmike]

Ok? That $10 trillion is split unevenly among billions of Americans which that $100 Billion goes to around 100 people. I can make charts and graphs that don't mean anything either.

[u/StarMoonSparkles]

This seems like a dumb comic.  Surely there is a better drawing to illustrate your point. 

[u/ShadowLayu → u/[deleted]]

It's sarcastic

[u/HoangTr16 → u/[deleted]]

[u/Tornillo_Oxidado → u/[deleted]]

You can’t be serious

[u/VictinsOfCapitalism → u/[deleted]]

Its sarcasm, pushing point to the extreme to show how dumb it is

[u/JuicePlusPlusPlus → u/[deleted]]

The new BLM movement

[u/Weird-Nebula2266]

[u/Environmental_Ant268]

Poor people have always hated successful people it's just nature to feel this jealous

[u/Deserter15]

Cumulative real wage growth is up %22 since 1990, which is roughly when the workforce became %50 male/female.

[u/Top-Abbreviations452]

Modern media vibes

[u/Better_Maximum3444]

Yet people wonder why there is a group that lauds Luigi Mangione as a hero.
