I never said 350k was low, I said it was very comfortable for someone without a family and doable for a comfortable middle-class life with raising a family and retiring.
The fucking economist hit piece said that 350k was "lavishly" high for an absurdly educated and highly socially useful professional because it's connected to a bunch of think tanks that are part of a concerted and coordinated effort funded by Bond Villains to organize society around one goal and one goal only: to drive wealth inequality arbitrarily high as fast as possible no matter if all of mankind has to strain every sinew and destroy the planet to do so.
No cost is too high to have people flying around daily in custom Gulfstream jets carrying a single passenger.
Fuck that.

- johnreesman 3y agoNo family, huh? I'm getting evicted two days after my birthday and not one of my patrilineal relations will help me. Could you put me up? You absolutely could and it would not burden you at all. And don't even start because you and the rest have profited greatly. I know, I know: how dare I. CMB.
