I love this. I can just imagine them paying poor people to drive and protest in their place too.

How many turn signals do we think are going to be used during this convoy?

From a few really old guys who forgot they put in on 10 blocks back

The Beaverton is the Canadian Onion.

Although it wouldn't surprise me if something like this happened. But it wouldn't be X3s... That's not a rich guy car. I work with at least 5 guys that drive them.

Man, even when satirizing the 1%, folks have trouble comprehending just how sociopathic they really are. In reality, there's no way that asshole would pay his butler enough to trickle down through multiple layers.

As someone who makes ok money I'd like people to understand that there really isn't lower, middle and upper class. There's people with "Fuck you" money and people without "Fuck you" money. $250k is not "Fuck you" money.

$250k in capital gains has very different implications from $250k in salary.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

$250k in cap gains represents about a million dollars of gain. That's not enough to retire for most Canadians and is definitely attainable by a lot of workers.

I'd love a million dollars in gains in a year...

Heck, I'd love to have even half a million dollars of total assets.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

If you have a million dollars in gains for ONE year, like you sell an asset to retire, you get hit. I agree, multple years of $1m gains is excessive.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

How is that?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Maybe if you can do 250k for 20-30 years you can retire nicely...

Still not fuck you money tho haha

Think about it

Well, there IS an upper class here in the UK. It's the people who own the country for the last thousand of years. Everyone else is a peasant in their eyes, no matter how much money you have.
