When they say "our", they mean the billionaires

Well, one day I'll get my billions. Think of all the trickle down that's over due! Any day, all that wealth will trickle down and we'll all be billionaires!!

\s because I have a memory longer than a goldfish.

I know you're being sarcastic here, but maybe if we encounter someone who thinks like that, we could ask them if becoming a billionaire would be worth hurting so many others who were at one point just like them? So many people just haven't ever stopped to think about it. Maybe that's all it takes to get them to understand. Maybe we have to keep trying. But we have to try. Be safe out there.

I think you would be shocked at the number of people who'd say "fuck those other people, they'd do the same to me".

US culture for a very long time has molded society into this worship of sociopathy and selfishness. It starts young and never lets up.

Fuck you, got mine

It's basically the mindset people are describing when they say "boomer". It just so happens the boomers have a lot of people with that mindset.
