      Jesus Christ, I just the capitalists are still winning. Keep us fighting amongst ourselves so we never unite. What, exactly, would convince you to have solidarity with a person able to save 3k a year? To quit and work for less? To donate all non-living expenses to charity until their QOL is on par with yours?

      Seriously though, there is no reason why labor at all levels can’t work together to improve the system and demand better treatment across the board.

        I hope the capitalists will always be winning. Capitalism is awesome.

        Also the person you’re talking about saved that money and invested it, making them a capitalist.

        Class solidarity is nonsense.

      You know it’s not terribly difficult to save a couple hundred a month so long as you’re not making minimum wage and budget for it

  6 years saving 20k is legitimately the “skip lattes and cancel Netflix” levels of saving.

  It’s $270 a month extra.

  Only saving $270 a month in NYC means 1 month of layoffs wipes out 6 months of saving in rent alone.

  If you don’t see the violence inherent in that system then you’re fucking blind.
