You cannot become wealthy in any way with that life.
Germans think differently. If a husband and wife work and earn 8,000 euros gross together, they usually have a property bought on credit, 2 cars. 2 holidays a year in warm countries and do not have to save on food and clothing. This is how the middle class lives in Germany.
Fair enough. The next time your family is either threatened or heaven forbid murdered, if seemingly random acts of mass violence against large corporations, e.g. Mangione and Brian Thompson, grow more numerous....more severe, just ask yourself what happens in a society when an almost unstoppable force threatens to rob the deserving of basic freedoms, much less human conveniences, strips its citizens of the opportunity to persue their dreams for a better life.
Once again, we two-legged beings are only slightly higher animals than the four-legged variety. Mess with us, we'll mess with you and yours. There's only so much a person can take before they crack.
When you compare the stats on mass murder between roughly the years 1950- 1965, for example, the number of either mass murders or violent crime (excluding of course Organized Crime, which was far worse pre-1956 with the Albert Anastasia rub out here in Jersey) was unrecognizably less in contrast with post 1968 up until the present. What are some of the obvious reasons? In the first place, prior to Reagan, the US continued to bask in the glow of the New Deal Era, when US citizens felt provided for by their government and unbridled greed wasn't yet allowed free reign.

"Basking in the glow"? lol . You mean the era of rationing,mass surveillance, and bloated government picking winners and losers like some rigged casino?
Spare us the fairy tale. The New Deal didnt kill greed it fed it. It just gave it a federal job and a desk in Washington. Youre worshipping a system that handed out power to unlected bureaucrats and called it compassion.
You want to live in a fantasty where the government was your parent and the economy your crib, but dont expect the rest of us to buy into your Great Depression nostalgia cult...
Work is for losers....hahahahaha...goes the message...T&A is where it's at...See JLO...and KK...zero talent and billions to show for it..
Become a tick tok influncer, those idiots make a lot of money from what Ive heard.
...confiscated gold and launched that Ponzi scam called Social Security...for criminals, migrants, and the fakes...
Quoting:
In 1933, the U.S. government confiscated gold from citizens through Executive Order 6102.
This order, signed on April 5, 1933, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, required individuals to surrender most of their gold coins, bullion, and gold certificates to the Federal Reserve in exchange for a set price per ounce.
@Lyzko WTF are you talking about? Its the governments of the world that are robbing people of their opportunity to become wealthy. Big government, is big taxes. The graft and waste of government is the largest criminal enterprise every country has. And I would much rather rely on myself to protect myself, my family, and property. The governments of the world have done so much with illegal immigration to put all actual citizens in harms way, that they cannont be trusted. Government jobs are nothing but a welfare system to keep otherwise unemployable people employed and paying into the scam tax system.
@Alien A family in the traditional sense, never needed two incomes, or 30 year mortgages to have a good life and a home. It has only been since the early 70's where this idea was touted as somehow being the new normal. Example, my wife is a stay at home mother, she could work if she wanted, but why work for even 10K per month when child care and taxes would reduce that to less than half? Does 5K a month impact my family in such a positive way that it is worth my wife being gone from the home all day, not actually raising the kids and taking care of the home? Not a chance. Nothing can replace the time a mother spends with children, and that is a big part of society's problems today. The traditional "home" has been destroyed by the feminist movement.
Credit? This is todays problem for all countries. Credit is a machine for banks to rob people of their real freedoms. Credit to buy things other than a home is what cripples the middle class, and keeps the poor from ever rising to a middle class level. Hard work, long hours, and self control when spending is what the US used to do that lead the world. Now the US lives on credit, taxes, and the chase of a social media lifestyle that doesnt exist for almost all people who are faking their status. Wealthy people dont try to look wealthy, broke people do.
@Joker et al, Amassing endless wealth at the expense of allowing other fellow humans to pursue their own happiness is criminal, plain and simple!
Always intrigues me how those who sit in positions of ill-gotten opportunity, that is, opportunism, are always telling others not as skilled in corruption, how they shouldn't complain about hard times.
Pushing someone out of their office job and moving their office furniture into the corridor without warning, then expressing absolute shock that the person affected goes on a killing spree, is the height of ludicrousness.
Just remember, Mr. Hypocrite, we're all of us as responsible for one another's happiness as we are for each other's misery and you'd darn well better remember that!
Nothing can replace the time a mother spends with children,
...unless the mother is a 20-year-old black lardo with three...on drugs...and pregnant again with the fourth sperm donor...all of them serving time...the new American normal...
Voters give Trump shock new approval rating as he nears first 100 days in power: Live updates
Just as shocking as the dentists' approval ratings among dental patients who eat a pound of sugar every day...
Or child p0rn collectors' ratings among Bubba and his friends - the guys who love having child molesters for lunch...
Conclusion: Stopping spending future money is always painful. I love their pain and the screams...So sweet to my conservative ears...Fvck you, spoiled morons...
BTW, I told you to skip Women's and Black Studies, morons...It takes more to earn a living than a couple idiotic slogans...
@Lyzko Wow. That's a whole lot of emotional flailing dressed up as moral outrage.
Wealth isn't "criminal," and success doesn't equal corruption just because someone else didn't get the same outcome. That's envy, not ethics. And comparing economic frustration to workplace shootings? That's not just absurd-it's deranged.
You want to talk about responsibility? Start by owning your words. Thinly veiled threats wrapped in poetic rants don't make you righteous. They make you unstable.
If this is your idea of an argument, you're not here for discourse-you're here for a meltdown. Don't mistake volume for virtue. You lost the plot and the audience.
@Lyzko Following your thinking a man working two jobs to create wealth for his family should feel bad for the one who only works one job. Fvcking idiocy. No one is responsible for anyone else's life outside of their family. No one GAF about my happiness or yours. Family first, everything else takes a back seat. Your words sound like they came right out of the socialist handbook.
I don't give a crap about your right wing pollack gay xeap ur family puro lives like this cepa primitive garbage country and the patologia in it. They should all do facial a unisex like the jos in USA and Brazil and Russia. I don't get why prostitution and por o production can't be acceptable here like in Russia or Brazil or USA.
I'm saying nothing of the kind and you know it! Let's take the lead of the French: "Have money, only don't speak of it." See anything even slightly indifferent, not to mention downright sadistic, about people feasting on a luxurious spread off of silver plates, with every delicacy known, fully aware of some poor passerby who, likely through no fault of their own, has had little to eat for several days? Let's assume that the sybarites in question have no idea whether our friend is starving or just polished off a multi-course meal at Maxim's, the point is that at the very least, it's common human decency to offer some of the morsels to the passerby.
@Rich, Congrats! You're picking up some borscht belt shtick in your snappy repartee:-) Pity it's misguided in this instance.
You went from ranting about office shootings and making veiled threats to lecturing about silver platters and French etiquette. You're not making a point you're scrambling for moral high ground after your last meltdown face planted.
No one's against decency or helping others. What we're against is weaponizing guilt, pretending success equals cruelty, and acting like people struggling are helpless bystanders in their own lives.
If you really cared about helping others, you'd push for opportunity, not forced charity wrapped in self-righteous fables. But keep moralizing about dinner parties its easier than facing your own incoherence.
That covers everything, with nothing to add or subtract. It's a perfect Joker.
You have to be really careful debating leftist vermin.
Facts? Common sence?? Please.....theyre basically immune. The only thing left is to make them look like morons, though thats a wasted effort too, since obliviousness is thier superpower. It soars right over thier heads like a 747.
That's what the last Dem border bill was all about.
Remember when Biden lied saying he didnt have the power and needed Congress to fix it? Turns out all we needed was a new President, and it was shut down fast as lightning.
I dont believe a word any Democrat has to say.
Hey, did you hear that Dick Durbin is finally retiring! One less swamp fossil to worry about. Now we`ve actually got a shot to vote and boot another Demorat out of the Senate:)
@Lyzko Give a man a loaf of bread he can eat for a day. Give a man a job he can eat every day. Work can solve any problem. People who do nothing to try to elevate themselves deserve no empathy or sympathy. People who work hard and still struggle should get help through appropriate government agencies. And those agencies should take care of their own countrymen, not other countries. Poland takes care of Poles first, and that is exactly what every country should do. Of course there is homelessness, but its not even close to what it could be, if it had problems like the US has.
