Back in 1964 a worker on average made $1.25 hour...
That's 5 quarters...
Quarters were 90% silver...
Silver spot price right now is $30.15, for five silver quarters...

And Mark Zuckerberg spent over $400 million in 2020 to help the Democrats.
he was at trumps inauguration

i dont remember zuckerberg overtly running a govt agency. no doubt he corrupted them.

regardless, its interesting to know if the oligarchs have more control of govt now than 2016 or 2020 say. i would guess its worse now

Give examples. Show us how they're running the government. The closest we've had to that was George Soros spending a lot of money to get a bunch of district attorneys elected.

obviously zuckerberg does social media so hes going to affect social media laws. hes also rich so hes probably gonna influence taxation.

musk is now mixing finance with twitter so hes going to influence that. musk is going to influence car regulations too.

i cant believe my friends paid over 500,000 for a 1 bedroom or whatever. they didnt pay cash, they borrowed it. my dad has no common sense about these things, he supports this. i asked poppa bear how much they will have paid when they dont owe anymore money and he said 2 to 3x what they borrowed.

this place is not even worth 500,000. youre just gonna be working all the time. some big cities in this country are literally 10% of the price. the mountains and ocean are not worth the extra 450,000. youre better off finding somewhere thats 70,000 to 200,000 and spending what you save on vacation instead of giving it to financial terrorists who create money.

Your dad probably has more common sense than you think, Mr buy a broom closet and go :censored2: around with the savings.

You probably have the luxury of being able to feel that way because you don’t need to buy a place.
this is my conclusion i reached recently.

i dont think its worth it even if you have a better job. i wonder how much a transit driver makes in edmonton where starting price for a condo is 70,000

they made micro condo here 10 years ago and starting price was 100,000 in a ghetto heavy metal part of town. but i think its 300,000 now so its not worth it.

i think one way to get rich in america if youre a minority is to walk in a rich neighbourhood, keep recording until the police start profiling you, and wait for them to violate your rights, then sue.
