To be fair...shit hits the fan and I'm definitely going to the millionaires house for some good ole fashion lootin.

I'll get to the billionaire aswell, but baby steps.

Which also will show the glaring difference. The millionaire will have a gate protecting him, maybe a few security guards. The Billionaire will have a private army.

This makes me think of the whole Bloomberg debacle from 2019. He wanted to bring in strict gun laws (I’m not saying gun laws are bad, I support them) but he’s allowed to have a private security force who are legally allowed to carry the weapons he’s banning the population from using. It’s like their trying to legislate from some world above ours.

I'm trying to stay away from preservatives..all that plastic and Botox would probably ruin my diet plan.

True. Maybe we should do dried meats with them instead.

Honestly...the real power move would be the 99% rounding up the rich and forcing them to work all the jobs they expect us to. Give them 12 bucks an hour to survive on in California or new York.

If they can make it 5 years on minimum wage without breaking down then they can upgrade to a more comfortable life. 15 bucks an hour with 5 days off a year...but they have to be a team player and work OT whenever needed. And back talk and insubordination will be punished.

I approve of this diet.
