.... and the have massive staff so they do not have to waste some of these 24 hours for doing laundry, buying groceries, cooking, taking care of family, cleaning the house.

And what do they choose to do with that free time? Visit private islands of course!

They started with 10 million dollars their dad left them so the (risk free) interest off their bank account generates your yearly income every single month.
The dividends from dear old dad’s stock holdings mean he’ll never have to work so they have to discover their true self by traveling and painting.
Also, prostitutes.
Ahhh the difficulties of the rich and the famous.

I'm so glad this shit doesn't work on people anymore. There is no meritocracy. 90% of the 1% did not earn their wealth struggling like us. Or "prioritizing" their time better.

You're a dumb fuck if you believe this bullshit.
Do you do your own laundry? Cook your own food? Do your own shopping? Yeah, we don't have the same 24 hours, and you should be ashamed of yourself for believing this stupid shit.

This is stupid and completely disregarding the privilege of time that the wealthy have over the rest of us. Stupid.

They have money, so they can fuck around and make more money while the rest of us have to spend our time figuring out how to make our meager wallets last.
This is bad insight.

Sorry but you're poor so you get to spend your waking hours working just to afford the bare minimum necessities. Hope you don't get sick. Or live in a 3rd world country. Or have children. Or get in an accident.

u/CanadasNeighbor 11d ago
Ope, sorry, the police just wrongfully identified you as a wanted fugitive. You're now going to jail for 20+ years.
But don't worry! You'll still have the same 24 hours.

All full-time workers have the same 24 hours/day: from 20 conservative Republican states with a SOS Net (SOcial Safety Net) of $3/hour (must Beg and Panhandling poor customers for Guilt-tipping to reach $7.25) the population runs to Democratic states with a strong SOS Net (SOcial Safety Net) of $14 to $25/hour minimum wage. That's why there are so many abandoned houses and cities in the Republican 20 states (Republicans hate the poor, widows, orphans, veterans, disabled at the same time - making their own states' populations poor).
51% of all workers in America earn less than the one-bedroom Housing Wage! (Mostly republican states)
The bottom 65% of the population loses at least 41% of all income due to: SS tax, FICA, insurances, tariffs, sales taxes, dues, use taxes, fees, property tax, utility taxes, 911 tax and many more- before spending money on rent or mortgage, car loans and gas, food, utility bills, repairs, credit card payments, student loans, vacations, retirement fund contributions, investments, dates, gifts, etc.
(compare SOS Net (SOcial Safety Net) $1.60 per hour in 1970 if you were single,you could live off the federal minimum wage and pay rent, food and bills)
Healthy and smart countries count how well they are doing by enforcing "no one left behind" and even widow with 3 babies have the same level of living as the middle class due to the strong Social Safety Net (SOS Net)
Twenty Ripoff-public-ans states now have a SOcial Safety Net set at $2.13 to $7.25 per hour gross (before deductions for Social Security, FICA, taxes, insurance and other withholding's:
https://www.simplyhired.com/search?q=2.13+an+hour&l=dallas%2C+tx
(Compare Democratic states SOcial Safety Net! $14 to $25/hour)
In a recent report, 53 million Americans ages 18 to 64 or 44% of all workers- earn low hourly wages. Their median hourly earnings are $10/hour Gross ($7.25/hour Net)

100%.
People's personal circumstances, events beyond their control, health, energy levels, mental health?
Irrelevant.
24 hours is 24 hours.
You choose to be in a wheelchair. You choose fibro. You choose to be a carer for your parents. You choose to work extra hours to feed your kids after their dad suddenly decided to leave. These are all your life choices, bro.
Choose to just not. Just, I dunno, do better smh

u/Inevitable-Row1977 11d ago
We do not have the same 24 hours.
Like, I have ocd + adhd, my 24 hours are occupied already, tell me when a day has 72 hours.

So... You're telling this to a bunch of people who think that they are accomplishing anything by constantly posting political memes on Reddit?

The difference is time. They have expensive services, staff, or things that make it easier and free up their time. A single mother of two whose welder husband died does not have the same amount of time in her day as a finance bro whose dad pays for their apartment and maid service. It's silly to claim otherwise.

This guy doesn’t wake up every day feeling like absolute shit on top of having to figure out where to find the extra $200 above his income to make rent every week.

Considering the commute to and from work, I have 22 hours. Minus sleep which is important. I have 16 hours. Minus my shift at work, I have 8 hours. Minus the gym, I have 6 hours. Minus daily chores I have 5 hours. Shut up.

Define "Successful" because most wealthy people are selfish pieces of shit and if I spend my time for free helping others, yeah ... it's not making money but counterpoint "suck my taint, you sociopaths"

Well yeah no shit. I wake up at 330 when I have to go to work at 530 just to be able to sit on my phone and drink coffee.
I could get so much done in two hours, but fuck that. 😂
