be poor (minus electricity, I guess)
- msandford 3mo agoIf I'm poor I'm still indirectly exposed through the stock market. Employers stock goes down I get fired. Employer has better robotics because of AI? I get fired. Datacenter wants to get built where land is cheap? I get evicted. Just because I'm too poor to own stocks doesn't mean stock prices don't affect me. That's indirect exposure not direct exposure.

- jackb4040 3mo agoSorry, who do you think is going to pay for the bailout? The rich? Don't make me laugh
- darth_avocado 3mo agoPeople who are poor still have to participate in the economy. When you have a trillion dollar bet not pan out, somehow your minimum wage job no matter what it is, will be impacted because that’s what a recession does.
