I need to work hard for them:
-
CEOs
-
Landlords
-
Billionaires
-
Corrupt governments
-
Lucky! Our stable climate is beyond fucked and industrial global society will probably cease to function, so soon you won’t even have to think about these things! 😊
Or you’ll just have more things to think about. The future is usually more complicated than we expect.
what, you too good for grass or something??
The difference of “working for a life” and “working for a living”.
Difference between “living” and “surviving”.
I absolutely hate instagram. They have to make it impossible to get a damn link to anything w/o their shitty app. If anyone has insta and wants to drop the direct link to the comic just out of reach, I’ll update the description.
No need. Facebook owns them. You don’t need to “support the artist” by linking there.
I’ll die on this hill.
If someone posts to truth social, and it’s funny, fuck em. I don’t care to give Trump’s corrupt, shitty family the publicity.
just link the imginn
1000% better option. Thanks
I, too, hate Instagram. One of the social media sites that tries to lure kids into their van really aggressively. I’m just looking, damn.
I’m not sure what you mean by “just out of reach” but here’s direct links to the post and to the image
If you pull up the artists instagram page on mobile if you click any post it redirects you to the App Store to download the app. Couldn’t figure out how to just get the link for the post because even an open in new tab was a redirect to the App Store.
add pedo billionaires sitting at a classy table balanced on his head with some sort of visual partition so they don’t have to see him
I had no idea eating grass was an option.
One afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine through town when he saw an old client and friend, Joe, in the park eating grass.
Troubled, he asked his driver to stop and rolled down his window to shout, “Hey Joe! Why are you eating grass?”
“We don’t have any money for food,” Joe replied gesturing towards his family close by. “We have to eat grass.”
“Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I’ll feed you,” the lawyer said.
“Thank you sir,” Joe replied. “But I also I have a wife and two children with me.”
“Bring them along,” the lawyer cheerily replied.
They all entered the car and zipped off to the lawyers home.
On the way, Joe turned to the lawyer and said, “Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you.”
The lawyer replied, “Glad to do it, Joe! You’ll really love my place. The grass there is at least a foot high.”

Weeds are often more nutritious than straight grass.
Southern culture even made it local cuisine, out of economic necessity, like poke(weed) sallet.
Similarly, I can’t imagine someone started eating collard greens because they tasted better than more standard vegetables.
There are a lot of plants we consider weeds that used to be cultivated as staple crops. Industrialization meant only the most productive species got attention for mechanization. Less productive species fell out of favour and now are kind of lost knowledge.
Lamb’s quarters: also called goosefoot or wild spinach. It’s related to quinoa and both the seeds and the leaves were eaten.
Purslane: grows in poor soils and is hardy. Still used in Mediterranean cooking but is considered a garden weed in a lot of the world
Dandelions and amaranth: both were cultivated, and most amaranth varieties are considered weeds now
Sorrel: tough leafy green with a tangy flavour used prior to citrus in Europe.
Ground elder: hated by gardeners and farmers. A nice spring leafy green planted around monestaries
Mallow: used to thicken soups and stews. Still used in the middle east and Mediterranean but is considered a weed elsewhere.
Nettles: you’ve probably heard of this one? Not farmed anymore to my knowledge.
Dandelions are used in salads, and can be brewed like a tea.
That can’t be true, hunger and hardship are brand new inventions… “then” everything was amazing and no one had problems.
Do you think you can survive a few weeks on this? Asking for a friend.
eating ass is also an option if you don’t want to eat grass.
It certainly can pay more.
If you’re stressed by installments and holidays maybe stop spending money on that, the before picture didn’t.
May be, if you have cancer and Burnout, you just shouldnt have cancer and Burnout
Yes, the billionaires are getting more and more rich not because they steal from the poor, but because they can just poop money out of their ass whenever they want to.
Definitely nothing has changed since the 80s.
Poor people just need to learn how to poop money too.
The corruption of the American Dream. To be so obsessed with saving money and growing your fortune that you forget who you’re even doing it for.
I believe the image is more about young folks today not having enough money to even start a family. Because of wealth hoarding, but by billionaires, not this guy. The use of “holiday” rather than “medical debt” and “student debt” leads me to think it’s not about America at all.
Also, Americans tend not to use “holiday”, we say “vacation” unless we are talking about a specific day which is a holiday, which doesn’t really fit this context. Most of them aren’t big spends, other than Christmas.
Yes exactly
young folks today not having enough money to even start a family
Some of the poorest people are forming the largest families, thanks to the segregated access to contraception tools and abortion services.
The use of “holiday” rather than “medical debt” and “student debt” leads me to think it’s not about America at all.
It is an American idea that’s been spread abroad by American media and commercial business.
Because of wealth hoarding, but by billionaires
30% of billionaires is American. Another 7% are in the US occupied state of Germany, with Italy, Canada, Taiwan, the UK, and France hosting 3% / 3% / 2% / 2% / 1.5% respectively.
The American Empire is the source of the Billionaire scourge.
Pretty sure the billionaire scourge is worldwide and the list of worst dragons excludes royalty (looking at you, Thailand, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, etc) which tilts the numbers toward the US.
But as for the OP, people in the US don’t use “holiday.” We have a couple weeks of "vacation " annually if we’re lucky. So the source is from elsewhere.
Are we sure about those numbers? Last I checked, China has more billionaires than the U.S.
Holidays??
European for “Vacation”
You guys are getting vacation?
American here - Definitely don’t get six weeks a year, and even if I did I am sure I would be guilt tripped into not using it, or so buried by the workload when I return that I would avoid using it on purpose due to lack of cross coverage / duplication.
Are we great yet? Too tired to tell.
Six weeks each year.
😢
I don’t think weeks mean the same thing in your language. Did you mean werks?
You have to save up to afford that pack of hamburgers to grill on Memorial Day, or the turkey for Thanksgiving. If you scrimp and save all year, you might even be and to afford to put a present or two under the Christmas Tree.
You are free to find a wife and make babies. Also today.
You are free to eat cake. Also today.
You are free to be a billionaire. Right this moment, don’t even wait until the end of the day!
I think you don’t need to be a billionaire to find love.
Love - yes, kids - no.
Yes, but you’ll be able to get AI filters (premium subscriptions only) that make it look like you’re eating chicken when you’re eating grass.
You should work to thank your boss for giving you a job.
There are only large corporations, why would your boss do HR? That’s a different department. Plus your boss is lower middle management AT BEST.
I’ll do anything for a job, but I won’t do that.
