Feel like I'm taking a crazy pill here lol, in terms of van building video, this is pretty tame and not even that crazy, why are people going crazy calling them rich motherfuckers and all that. If this video pisses you off, you probably need to stay away from the internet for a while to clear your head.

Yeah, the van itself seems somewhat reasonable. It's the garage that gives "generational wealth".

But hot damn, we really have a toxic crab bucket mentality where everyone who is 6 to 7 figures rich is portrayed as the enemy while there are people running around with 12 figures.

That van build is still like $150k…

And you think the guy who can spend $150k on a hobby is the enemy and not the ones spending millions on elections and shit? Good fucking lord we are never going anywhere

lol you say that as if they’re not the same people when they probably also voted for Trump because they’re worth millions and republicans give tax breaks to the rich

Who cares who they vote for? The people aren't the problem, it's the fact that money dominates our politics and controls what policies are enacted. Democrats also are favorable to corporations and subsequently the rich, that's the fucking point

People worth "millions" are a drop in the bucket, that's the whole point here, there are people with 3 and 4 more zeros who are the problem.

u/KING_ARCH3R 6h ago

Honestly the people voting for Trump and republicans are the problem full stop

u/derprondo 6h ago

Yes but this is all being paid for by those people with a 12+ figure net worth.

Sounds like someone is embarrassed about the wealth they're hoarding.

That's what I'm saying. Like for what this serves, it can essentially be a domicile, and that's worth all of the $75k or whatever it is. That's an easy enough loan for a vehicle and home

How much do you think a house cost?

u/Ok-Beautiful4821 9h ago

Significantly cheaper than a house… majority of people can get approved for a 150k loan. Especially if it becomes your place a residence / home.

Which is less than half what a high end full size RV costs.
