just wait your turn... oh im poor, I just gotta wait my turn to get the chair, cuz the system will put the chair under my ass because of my circumstances.
and if you're rich, the system will pull the chair out of the bottom of your ass one day to pass it away for... no reason other than "it's time".
...no one would bother trying to climb up if they knew that would happen.
only the poor would vote for that, and as soon as any poor person sat on the chair, they'd never wanna give it up, it would just default back to the exact same situation we are in now, and we have been in since the dawn of man kind.
the system is already near perfect when measured as a whole
the whole "generational disadvantage" is like the medieval term "unfortunate" LOL. "the unfortunate" are born into their state, how unfortunate... NO SHIT SHERLOCK.

Hopefully he actually doesn't get assassinated as much as I'd like to see his brain splattered across a window.
The negative effects on the American people will be too big if that happens.

Wealth is mostly passed down through families, so being at a "generational disadvantage" just means you didn’t inherit wealth—it’s obvious and natural. Society is like a pyramid: not everyone can be rich, and that’s what drives competition and ambition. If wealth were equally distributed, people wouldn’t work hard or strive for more, and the system would eventually go back to the same structure anyway.
The current system works as it is because it motivates people to climb up while accepting that inequality is part of life. Losing or gaining wealth depends on how you handle it, and the idea of "fixing" this system wouldn’t really change anything long-term. It’s just how things are.
| And then out of curiosity I asked ChatGPT what they thought the mental state f the author was when they wrote it: Quote:
The original author seems to have been in a highly critical, possibly frustrated state of mind, grappling with societal inequalities and the futility of trying to "fix" systems they believe are inherently unchangeable. Their tone comes across as cynical, combative, and dismissive of idealistic or academic approaches to wealth and class disparities.
Their arguments are logical in structure, even if they’re delivered in an emotionally charged and somewhat abrasive manner. The use of sarcasm, hyperbole, and rhetorical questions suggests they were venting or expressing strong personal beliefs rather than aiming for a calm, balanced discussion.
It feels like they were reflecting deeply on the nature of wealth and social hierarchies, with an undercurrent of resigned acceptance—believing that inequality and competition are natural, unavoidable parts of life. They also seem impatient with what they perceive as naive attempts to redefine or challenge these systems, seeing them as futile or self-contradictory. Overall, they likely felt intellectually engaged but emotionally jaded.

Financial Times: Donald Trump in fiery call with Denmark’s prime minister over Greenland Quote:
Trump had been aggressive and confrontational following the Danish prime minister’s comments that the island was not for sale, despite her offer of more co-operation on military bases and mineral exploitation.
“It was horrendous,” said one of the people. Another added: “He was very firm. It was a cold shower. Before, it was hard to take it seriously. But I do think it is serious, and potentially very dangerous.”
| I wonder how long it will take for the wakeup call to happen? Even his low level voters who just wanted cheap eggs, or dumb Canadians who think it's funny, are going to have a breaking point of what they'll accept as more than "comedy" or "trolling".

I mean you can sit on your hands if you like, but not sure why you'd preach that to the American public.

Again, I have no clue WTF these wankers are thinking. Maybe they'd enjoy having their homes ransacked by mobsters too since those mobsters would be "the strong" party, while they are "the weaklings" to be taken advantage of?
Fxxking idiots...

Well if you’re from the states what don’t you like? Everything is pro America clowning on the rest of the world and everyone else is too soft to push back. It’s exactly what they voted for.
