I remember a white kid in my class talking about how his parents made 320k combined and they still “struggle” and thinking to myself: “It’s probably because they don’t know how to manage their fucking money and live above their means, but sure, just pretend it’s not their fault”
A few minutes later, he mentions that they vacation 3 times a year, own 3 cars, and spend $1000 a week (A WEEK) on food.
Long story short, I refuse to feel sorry for any of you upper-middle class folk that pretend you’re struggling financially too when you just have no sort of financial management skills.
Ive said it before and I said it again the ONLY reason this asshole wanted to be president was to SPITE Obama and his legacy, and thats exactly want this sack of shit is doing.
Good job Trump Supporters, we will soon have Poisoned Oceans and Poisoned food but fuck Obama and his free healthcare right??
In my opinion, thinking that this happened ‘on the whim of a rich, entitled monster’ or ‘to spite the Obama Administration’ is naive. If we wish to make any kind of progress, we need to understand the root causes of things.
The reason Trump did this is to advance the interests of big businesses at the expense of the working class.
Republicans don’t oppose universal healthcare because they’re evil or want people to suffer, it’s because universal healthcare would mean spending money on something that helps people rather than generate profit, and in this capitalist world, the latter is more important to the people in power.
I know it can be easier to think that bad things happen because of the bad intentions of individuals, but looking at things in a systemic way is often much more informative and useful.
@hayleykiyoko:Thank you for letting me be a part of such a monumental moment for you. You are such an inspiration and do so much. This was our first time performing ‘What I Need’ together, and won’t be our last. I love you @kehlani . 🌈
