@evan or maybe the problem is with us maintaining the concept of money in the first place

Maybe we should just throw out the idea that we need to earn the supposedly “inalienable” right to life by collecting pieces of paper with old white men’s faces on them

@renae so, less than $100k?

@evan in an ideal world nobody would either have or need money, and $0 is less than $100k so…

IME people with that much money are assholes. $100k is $97.3k more than I’ve ever seen in my life and I don’t trust anyone with that much money

@renae how old are you, roughly? 20s, 30s?

@evan why does that matter?
Show threadEvan ProdromouMay 27
@renae because people who have been earning and saving for decades are often more used to bigger bank accounts. Median savings at retirement are in the low hundreds of thousands of dollars. If you're not used to being around people with that much money, it might be because you're not around middle-aged or older people.

@evan I can assure you age has nothing to do with it. I’m very used to having the police called on me for the crime of being poor in public
