The capitalist trap. Live a miserable life and spend what money you have to make it a little more comfortable.
Who said their life was miserable?
Yeah, they need a break because life rocks!
lmfao you're clearly the one who's life is miserable
Yes I live under capitalism.
We live a very comfortable and happy life actually, nice protection though
Cool, maybe you can afford to send somebody else on vacation, or are you satisfied having fulfillment while single mothers and disabled people live in squalor?
Talk about your nonsequitor lol
I'm not rich, I just make enough to give myself and my family a comfortable happy life - in absolutely no way am I diminishing or dismissing the hardships of others who - through no fault of their own, wound up less fortunate. Don't take your frustration at the system out on regular people like me.
be mad at the people flying around in private jets, not the people who can swing an extra $400 once or twice a year to upgrade to business class lol
I'm not mad at all. I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy in defending the system that exploits all of us just because YOU are comfortable.
When did I defend the system?
This whole thread has been about buying comfort until you started saying, "Nuh uh!"
This whole thread was about the pros and cons of upgrading to business class until you started making it a socioeconomic debate about the evils of capitalism lol
Like jumping into a thread about the best way to cook a cheeseburger and preaching about how meat is murder and veganism is the only moral diet
If you want to talk about the many downsides of capitalism, I'm all for it, but you can't be surprised that people aren't taking you too seriously when you're trying to do it in a thread about upgrading to comfy seats lol
Exposing yourself to all suffering everywhere, all the time, is an easy way to never be happy.
I'm a hospice nurse. My average workday would leave you shook.
