Americans are hypocrites when it comes to billionaires, the worship of them is sickening.

I guess this isn't exclusively a feminist issue, but since most billionaires on the planet are men, it's definitely a problem that affects everyone. I don't need to tell you what you already know, America's billionaires are also the ruling class, they're not just insanely rich people. I'm tired of seeing the worship of Elon Musk, like he's the "cool guy's" billionaire who understands the young kids; when in reality he's no different than Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Zuckerberg or Warren Buffet. I'm currently apolitical because there is no logical plan on either the Left or Right to resolve wealth inequality. People are too extreme, you either have to be a socialist or a capitalist, there is no compromise between the two. I personally believe in socialism for society's needs and capitalism for consumerism. I do believe there is a fine line between both ideologies, but Americans are so radicalized there is no middle ground.

I'm not wealthy, hell I hardly make $80k a year as a single with no dependents. I'm 30 years old, have a cushion like office gig and shamefully will admit I work a minimum wage job part time for extra cash. I get tired of people judging me for my career " just go to school and go into debt" or my personal favorite "you lack ambition," Yeah, I'm sure Musk had plenty of ambition when he left Pay Pal to fund more failed startups until he struck gold with Tesla. It's not like he invented his own work, he orchestrated people smarter than him to do the work for him. Donald Trump is another one, but even worse. Trump sat on real estate in NYC that's decades old and managed to lose more money than he ever gained.

I could go on forever, but you get the picture. You can't make change unless you refuse to pay your bills and there is a mass exodus of pissed off people. I am saddened by how hard it is to socialize these days. You can see how tired and exhausted people are, you only stretch a person's energy so far until they're bitter and too tired to work. I don't see record high inflation changing minds, Americans will continue to be a cheerleader for Musk on Twitter, they will continue to bow down to Taylor Swift.

Dunkin Donuts is my part time job, I work with tired people all the time making junk wages. We get yelled at for not getting a coffee ready in under a minute. So, the entitlement wars are misdirected here; wage workers are entitled, but not the billionaires who haven't done an honest day's work in their whole lives.
