lol. anyone who manages to accumulate that kind of wealth has no doubt committed a laundry list of abominable crimes and should be put to death along with their families. there's no end to the list of causes all that money could be put toward. expropriating them would definitely make the world a better place.

The way I see it, the rich are extremely rich, but the poor really aren't that poor when you compare it to most of the world, and human history. When has there ever been a civilization with such plenty that its poorest citizens are all fat?

we didn't have fast food and cheetos for most of human history.

here are some vegetables to contemplate. I can recommend cubed potatoes slow cooked in the blood of a billionaire.

But you are what you eat, it's a vicious cycle

you can come down with a wicked bad case of gout just by consuming the flesh of a single Rich Kid of Instagram. not for nothing is gout known as "the rich man's disease."

You can get a 12 pk of store brand soda for well under $3.

yeah, Kroger store brand is like 1.99.

yeah but even the poors aren't desperate enough to drink that garbage.

i think a more important point here, beyond the type of soda, you'll still be able to get water for a fuckload cheaper anyways.

strangely enough the kroger brand seltzer water is more expensive than the soda. but yes drinking tap water is cheaper, if you live in a place that hasn't poisoned its water supply through pollution.
