“Casual Nihilism”: 50 Hilariously Relatable Memes That Might Make You Feel Called Out

The better example is in term of housing. People who earn twice of median income in can easily get mortgage approved from bank then in 10 year finish to pay. While people that only earn half of me might spend 30% to 40% just to pay rent for their entire life.

I bought a pair of combat boots before going to baghdad for 15 months in 2007--- best boots ever. Paid $450 for them. I still got em.

I bought an "executive" office chair from IKEA in about 1995, for £360. Still sitting on it comfortably as I type this. My wife bought cheaper office chairs - she's had 4 in the last 15 years.

My wife convinced me to buy my clothes from LL Bean because even though they are more expensive, they last a lifetime.

For me a good example is a dish washer. If you are poor, you can't afford a dish washer. But by washing dishes by hand you spill at least 7 times more water and the water bill will be at least 7 x higher. So you have to pay more and you have more work.

Or calling the old age pension benefit a "Ponzi Scheme" while only being taxed on the first $170k of your millions in income?...ironic.

Is it ethical to starve a country after you have bombed everything they own, prevent all food except a tiny trickle getting through to them and shoot them as they starve in queues for crumbs? No, it’s a war crime.

He's got a point there.

Is it ethical to put tariffs on imported bread?

💯 x 💯 I hate “career success” p0rn.

I am printing this and taping it to my desk at work.

One of the people in management at my job is leaving because 'there's no place to grow' and advance her career and my first thought was 'how does she have the energy?'

Steer clear of california, then

This is such a perfect sentiment. Except the 50 year old me wants to correct the "dassit" so badly. But I am standing back....

Yup... just yup.

Santa perpetuates the class divide by giving more expensive presents to the children of rich parents. BTW If you haven't seen Cunk - watch it. You'll get a great insight into educated British humour.

isn't that the truth

Also look for her series "Mandy" (2019-2023). Perfect dark comedy.

The IT Crowd! 🤎

I can testify that in Europe, until a couple of decades ago, this wasn't the case. The state allowed citizens to live a decent life. Over the past twenty years, however, those governing Europe have clearly been at the behest of the US, whose goal is to export its unbridled capitalism across the world to enrich a few oligarchs, and they are gradually dismantling the welfare state.

Doing our part to appease the market gods, i.e. line their pockets many times over so that they can afford bigger yachts and mansions than their neighbor market gods. And so that our taxes can be used to bail them out when they gambled too close to the sun. Free Luigi.

Because people work harder if they're starving. That's capitalism, comrade !

People don't seem to realize it but the bottom majority are just the current day slaves. They are just given enough to keep them going so the rich can become richer and then they are disposed just like yesterday's trash.

Gettin' to where a chap can't afford a bootstrap or the horse he rode in on.

As a child, I tried to poison my brother by leaving some dish soap in his mug. He deserved it and I got a great idea to use as an amateur writer.

LMAO!!!!

Mt inlybposession is a rice bowl. I expect someone else to fill it for me.

And the amount the corporation will be fined ( if it ever is ) will be a miniscule percentage of the profit earned from the poisoning.
