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.

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.
