Quote from: K-Dog on May 18, 2023, 11:26 AMI agree with Noam and Chris Hedges on the state of American Politics.
Class warfare by the entitled prevents the evolution of anything socially sustainable. Noam would agree with my statement.
Okay..."by the entitled". Let us put a figure on these "entitled". How about we start with 7 figure net worth? Now, the interesting thing about that number (in the not so recent past folks being a "millionaire" was quite the deal) is that it includes people on this board...and more likely....Noam himself.
He apparently can sustain homes in multiple countries, and rent private jets when he needs them for health reasons according to this article.. Plus the wife figures a place on the beach might suit him as well, a pleasant place to convelesce. She didn't say if she was buying or renting, but really, how much real estate do a pair of near centenarians need? One in each country of origin seems reaosnable.
The question is, do any of us entitled folks, or Noam, commit class warfare? I am unfamiliar with committing class warfare. I'll bet K-Dog, supporting the working man as he does, doesn't. And as K-Dog points out, he is certain Choam doesn't. So why are some of who are entitled, NOT committing class warefare?
Because the statement "class warfare by the entitled" appears pretty inclusive. Perhaps 7 figure net worth individuals aren't REALLY entitled....which makes sense from the perspective of those of us who fit the bill. Want to bet those getting by on 30 hours a week of just above minimum wage might think differently as to exactly who is entitled? And that answer would be different compared to the entitled here?
