I worked in a school with a pretty good amount of students whose families had probably not entered the country legally.
I had a student who would be out at the end of the day. Like, yeah, lots of kids are zonked out by the last hour, and the fake sleep to watch silent TikToks was ever popular.
But this girl was out. The bell would ring and I’d try to wake her up. Like starting with a “hey the bell just rang, time to go home.” Gently nudging her to get no response. This was routine.
She worked a full time job at night. She didn’t get to sleep. She worked at night, she went to high school during the day.
There have been times that I’ve had to work three jobs to survive as an adult, and I’ve worked my share of fifteen+ hour shifts with no OT because who needs labor laws?
But that girl had to work harder to survive than any billionaire I’ve met could even conceive of (and I fucked a billionaire for quite a while). She was a child. She should have been tired because she had stayed up all night playing video games or talking to her friends - she should not have been tired because she had to have a full time job to survive as a teenager in high school.
and I fucked a billionaire for quite a while
Soooooooo
Are we just glossing over this or…
Lmao
Yeah, I married and was economically devastated by a billionaire. Turns out, if you can afford good lawyers, you can keep the house and ditch your spouse with a hopeless amount of CC debt. Long story.
Oh. Well I was totally thinking that was going to go in a “I was a secret billionaire’s mistress” sort-a-way. Not, “I have a legit supervillain backstory because of a billionaire” kinda way, sorry lol
The ups of my life are things like dinner for three at the top of Harrod’s that cost more than my current apartments rent (and steak. oh god actual fancy steak house steak. foie gras on a rare filet), the downs are analingus for grocery money (pan fried chicken hearts in butter with rice got me through college).
six billionaires saw this post, apparently
That, or six (seven now) people who really enjoy the taste of boot
Perhaps both.
I love sucking
It’s sad that even the idea of a very high tax rate for even the top 0.1% is off the table. I really like the suggestion of capping net worth at $999 million and the government gets the rest.
I completely agree. It is likely a constitutional amendment will be needed to institute a wealth tax/ceiling. But it is needed, for national security. The centre cannot hold.
This assumes billionaires fell into money. Not true. The person with two jobs puts in more hours ongoing, but they either aren’t or don’t know how to actually work
How’s that boot taste?
What billionaire didn’t start out with a healthy infusion of cash? Sure, some turned millions into billions, but I don’t know of any that didn’t start with a line on several millions of investment available.

Now you know. You can look up their stories yourself. Now stop perpetuating the false dogma that somehow these people are special and unique and have something that you don’t. You can do it too, you just choose not to.
