Z̈oé@autonomysolidarity it’s also infinitely more likely that you’ll once turn homeless vs. become a billionaire

Estarriol, Terrorist Dragon@autonomysolidarity 90% of people are 3 bad months from homeless not 3 good months from billionaire.
Pait@autonomysolidarity I know where my next meal is coming from. I'll take a warm shower and sleep on a mattress in a dry room. I'll wake up, brush my teeth, put on some clean clothes.
Just like a billionaire. And unlike the homeless person.
Attempt to normalize poverty and claim that middle class people are the real victims #failed.
unkrautI don't see the image as an attempt to normalise poverty. Having "more in common" is not the same as being in the same situation.
It's rather an attempt to build bridges of empathy and #solitary between #nonbillionaires. And an attempt to remind those middle-class people, who look down at homeless people and who dream of musk-like success, which is absurd. Unfortunately billionaires and narcist politicians are also successful, because to many people idolise them.

You are right in pointing out that most of us are quite privileged in comparison to homeless people and that they are the ones, who need support and empowerment. But support is even more unlikely, when many look down at them, almost like poor people would be a kind of different species.
I don't see here a victimisation of the middle class, but rather a reminder that the "enemy" are the super-rich people, who care neither about us than about homeless people.

@unkraut I agree in part, I disagree in part.
The poster on the pole is just wrong. And not in a well.meaning way.
culpaplex@autonomysolidarity I approve of this message but and because I think a fundamental part of the problem is that people force themselves to defend billionaire interests because they'd rather work against their own than mentally group up with society's victims.

So lets be super generous and say youre a really well earning person in the usa at 200,000.
In the usa on avg a homeless might get 800 bucks a month (unreliably). So 9600 a year as an average.
That means a homless person makes 4.8% of what you do.
Compare that to someone with a billionaire who makes a billion dollars dollars at minimum in a year, You make in comparison 0.02% of that a year.
That gap difference is a factor of 240. Meaning the gap between you and a billionaire is 240× bigger than between you and a homless person.
Edit: had the 9.6 wrong its 4.8 and 480 is actually 240. Still valid point.
So yeah even the upper class has far far more in common with homeless people than billionaires.
Leefeller Guy@autonomysolidarity My money is on, the only thing I may have in common with a billionaire , is my morning coffee?
obscurestar@autonomysolidarity Yup. Most Americans are just one unlucky accident or health episode away from being homeless.

@meow Perhaps not the actual priority here but the probability that there are many more homeless people who like Miku than there are billionaires in the world is very high.
@autonomysolidarity that's a good point actually
cobratbq - cranky-by-design@autonomysolidarity in case they claim otherwise: I never stated either way definitively.
