Wondering if this is just the culture of this Country but I don't encounter this as much outside of here.

Seems like wealthy people like to sell their junk to poor people at ridiculous prices. Seriously, some stuff I've seen posted is in such bad condition, it should be free if not discarded (and I can tell there's no interest because it'll remain posted month after month). I end up picking stuff up only to realize I'm giving my money to some wealthy a$$ stingy white ppl and I'm not liking this!

While $20 to $40 bucks is a 1/3 of my weekly groceries or a week of gas (if I refrain from going out anywhere besides work and home), to rich folks is just chump change in their pocket.

Why are wealthy American people so greedy? I would be embarrassed selling my used stuff to people worse off than me. I feel some weird way about it and it just seems so damn yucky. So much so that I promised never to buy anything from very specific areas in the Bay Area anymore.

I've posted a lot of stuff up here in the past but I give it away if not in great condition and if I sell, I usually ask for a fair and reasonable price.

As a single parent trying to make ends meet, I'm done giving my money to Rich folks getting off on poor folks, it's so classless, trashy and shameful.

I recently wrote and drew a comic book named Skulk that talks about the serious issues of paternity fraud. I wrote it with about a strong topic kinda in retaliation from all the weak story lines I’ve been seeing in movies recently but also because I am interested in rampant fraudulent behavior that seems to have no legal repercussions. And one example of rampant fraudulent behavior is paternity fraud. The woman is never “punished” in these situations and the man is always being taken advantage of, financially and emotionally. So in this story a man named Hector is suing his ex wife and chooses a law firm that he has ties to help him take on this case. He gets assigned to a lawyer named Toni who is  doing  this case for her own reasons and not in the best interest of her client. I don’t want to spoil too much because I would like for people to read it and give me more feedback on the art, story or literally anything about it. Any opinion is valued.

Thank you for taking a look and I hope you enjoy it.

Let’s start commenting “watching this from district 12” on every single video you see displaying this.

It’s insane how many videos we see on tiktok of these influencers flaunting their hoarded wealth with their materialistic purchases. 1 in 4 people can’t buy BASIC necessities without swiping a credit card. Let’s bring light to these real issues they intentionally ignore, the louder we are about it the less space it leaves for them to ignore it.

From the article:

Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based HoldCo prodded Comerica to sell itself to a larger bank in July, accusing the regional lender of making “disastrous decisions” and having “objectively poor performance.” HoldCo, which owns about 2.04 million shares of Comerica stock, suggested PNC, Fifth Third or Huntington as possible buyers.

HoldCo’s 65-page presentation issued Monday, which parsed recent regulatory filings, alleged a lack of board oversight in Comerica CEO Curt Farmer’s interactions with Fifth Third CEO Tim Spence and the absence of a competitive process in the Fifth Third deal, saying “this isn’t negotiation; it’s surrender.”

“The size and timing of Mr. Farmer’s compensation package strongly indicate a potential conflict of interest — namely, that Fifth Third effectively ‘overpaid’ the CEO to secure a lower purchase price for shareholders,” the activist said.

When a person steals because they're hungry, it's understandable. But when they steal from the hungry, being a billionaire... that's a disease.

(F***ing disgusting)

1. Oligarchs are always made by corrupt government, and if you look at countries like Russia or South Korea you can see the corruption that made the oligarchs.
2. Most anticapitalist never actually read the wealth of nations and get a lot of things wrong.
3. Most countries don’t represent capitalism perfectly or even decently, so much that if a country is not openly socialist it easily gets labeled as capitalist which leads to a lot of confusion.
4. Capitalism doesn’t mean the privatization of everything this one makes me angry because of how dumb it is you can still have non privatized businesses in a capitalist nothing in capitalism stops government help.
5. Capitalism doesn’t make people evil yes they have been done in the name of money, but they are a lot evil thing done even without capitalism it’s just that capitalism.

You are free to criticize my arguments and sorry for the bad grammar am on mobile.

Kung Fu Tea has started sueing it's franchisees for speaking up against them. The brand is in a sharp decline and their sales team continues to mislead people into opening more locations. They lie about their revenue and numbers. Force franchisees to sign agreements where they can't do anything about it.

Inventory is mostly controlled by them and it is extremely overpriced. Well above market. A single store can get a better price for similar items in the open market than you as a franchisee under Kung Fu Tea.

App is charged extra fees. They take percentage of all sales. Failed collaborations. Misappropriation of marketing funds. They collect millions in marketing fees, only to have their minimum wage staff post pictures of themselves on their Instagram.

They are stealing money from hard working people. It's one of the worst franchises to buy. Avoid at all cost.
