The tone of your post feels like it’s making assumptions people haven’t worked incredibly hard for what they already have.
Paid for all my schooling myself, paid for my first place myself, etc. etc. I’d accept I’m a benefactor of timing but that’s about it.
An extra 50k a year would make my life slightly more comfortable but it’s not like I’d be buying a new BMW. I’ve made more equity in my home in the last 6 year than I would have made with that extra 50k over 2 decades. I’m still not rich, not even close.
I never said anything about any business getting a hand out, I was saying the stress of trying to make a business work likely isn’t worth that extra bit of money you may or may not make and all the risk involved in that. Although I do think small business is a far better place to hand out money than these massive corpos in the back pocket of the govt.
No no, there was no intention to be judgmental. Per your posts, in the grand scheme of things, you're quite well off, and kudos to you getting there.
And I understand your point about the 50k. But like someone else mentioned, if you're at a point in life where 50k isn't a big deal, then without meaning any offense you're detached from what a LOT of people call reality.
Like you say you're not rich. But your definition of rich is skewed. Literally 99% of the world can only dream to ever be in your financial state, and yet you feel like you're not rich. That, was my point. And to say things like student loan forgiveness is handouts for idiots who took arts majors, is a bit like saying I beat cancer by myself so I'm against funding cancer research.
$50K would be life changing for me.. So yeah without judgment, that is a LOT of money to just say it wouldn't affect your life, or lamenting that you could only put it into more real estate.
Yeah, we need term limits. But instead the left elected a guy who does the same thing. Trump was and is coherent and all there. I remember when the left would mock him for writing confefe but is now silent on this mumbling fool.

Donald Trump has been indicted on criminal charges by a federal grand jury in special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election leading up to the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.
The former president was charged with: conspiracy to defraud the United States; conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding; obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding; and conspiracy against rights.
Trump is scheduled to appear at the Washington, DC, federal courthouse at 4 p.m. ET on Thursday.
Bahaha... it's shocking how much hate there is on Trump among the lefties on here.
Anything Trump does goes through microscope and yet there isn't a peep about Devon Archer's hearing.
Who really is doing the witch hunt? If you hold both parties to the same standard, there should be a lot of discussion on the Biden's thread... yet nothing... radio silent.

Is biden indicted on trying to overthrow a democratic election, and undermine the entire process that a whole country is built on? What's fucking pathetic is thinking that is being "under a microscope"

Well, I mean, one of them literally tried to overthrow a democratic country/election right next to us and got police officers killed.
This is definitely microscope worthy.
Devon Archer's testimony shows Hunter Biden trying to fake that he's successful using his family name to appear self-made and impress his daddy. This is literally the root of Trump's day to day mens rea even before he was president and is also present in at least 1 of his sons. Woop-tee-do.
Daddy issues =/= attempt to destroy democracy and murder?
