Things that made you frown today (Political Version)

[time4fun]

I don't see any reason to be impressed by a $100/hour salary. Even if earning that amount made your opinion more valuable (which of course it doesn't), there are a few semi-active/active users on this board who make more. Skilled engineers (especially software and hardware engineers) with experience tend to be well-paid.

Salaries aren't impressive. They aren't a reflection of your value or your work- they're more often a reflection of your spot in the privilege cycle. The whole point of my post was that tech workers are getting paid A LOT more money than most to do the same exact jobs, in many instances. People often don't realize that most of us aren't actually doing technical work.

It's just the latest installment of America's continuing obsession with keeping wealth in the hands of the same small group who always seems to end up with it.

Though point of correction- software engineers don't usually have higher salaries than other people in tech. It's equity that makes up most of their compensation.

For someone who makes top 1% money.. you sure do seem to hate the top 1% people...

So either you are a self-hating, hypocritical dumb bitch.. or you are a full of shit dumb bitch.

Which is it?

Right? Whenever I picture them, I just see Statler and Waldorf, the two old guy Muppets, heckling in the stands. "Rabble, rabble, rabble! That was some good heckling today guys! We really showed those liberals and that one moderate- all smug with their fancy facts and reasoning! Same time tomorrow?"

Not sure you were following the conversation very well. Here, let me help:

When an alt-left liberal, who claims to make more than everyone here combined and that she pays more in taxes than what everyone makes is faux outraged that there is a wage gap and that she supports far larger taxes and really, really stupid laws that punish companies.. it makes no sense. Either she is full of shit in her outrage, or she's full of shit about her situation.

Maybe you can talk her into sending you some cash to finally hire that lawyer to get those IP subpoenas rolling to Kranar?

What "facts and reasoning" have you presented? That you're going to save local businesses and solve "income inequality" by taxing free food employees receive?

1) Alt left doesn't exist. Stop normalizing white supremacy.

2) I never said I made more than everyone combined- you said that because it seems to make you feel more comfortable for some reason.

3) I don't know how to explain to you that it's normal to care about other people.

4) If this was intended to make you NOT look like an angry, one-dimensional muppet heckler- it was a failure on the merits.
