Evil Rich People

[Sparko]

Oh hell no, but 90+% of the population continuing to work so that I can retire early, pay lower taxes AND I get better returns on my investments....well, if that's what the rubes want.

Who am I to deny them that freedom?

I hear ya there.
I want Psych to get 4 jobs....

I’m currently at 8 and the wife is close behind at 6.

Thanks, Brandon!

Top that.

You realize we had the best performing economy in the world under Biden? You should be so lucky under the next wave. Of all of us, you should be a militant labor rights guy.

[Shirley]

Sparky is right!

The S&P 500 gained > 20% the last two years in a row, the first time that’s happened since another Democratic administration, Bill Clinton’s, in ‘97 & ‘98.

Couple that with Psych and Randy voting for lower taxes on my capital gains, and perhaps I’ll finally get what I so richly deserve!

Top that.

Why would anyone want to "top that"?

You obviously need to get some skills that are valued by the economy.

What happened to that $325/hr consulting gig? Work 20 hrs a week there and you would be hauling in $300K, quit your other 7 jobs.

[MICHHAWK]

14 jobs is fantastic. you are a role model.

hard workers work hard.

[MICHHAWK]

this great country was built by hard workers working hard.

I do the $325 an hour job 10 hours a week. I could do it 40+ hours a week, but I prefer teaching. I learned a long time ago that life is too short to spend all of it doing things you don't like so much. I work on the 7 online classes I teach every night from 9:00 to Midnight or 1:00 am after the wife goes to bed with the little one. She gets up at 5:00 and works on her 6 online classes until the little one wakes up and I get her ready for daycare. We both also work large chunks of Saturday, and I work about four hours on Sunday.

We live on very little of what we bring in. Both of us max out our retirement accounts monthly, dump $3,000 each in our emergency fund, and another $1,000 in a fund for our daughter so she can go to private school once she gets old enough, and have no debt other than our mortgage. I am using the skills and opportunities I have to set up my family for when I am gone.

sounds like you should make better decisions, rather than just bitching

[MICHHAWK]

sounds like you are jealous.

i’d wager only you aspire to achieve his level of bigotry

Don't you have some kids that can chip in?

I have my eye on some land just outside of Bisbee.

Washington Post cartoonist resigns over paper’s refusal to publish cartoon critical of Jeff Bezos

The Washington Post’s Pulitzer prize-winning editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes has resigned from her position at the newspaper after its refusal to publish a satirical cartoon depicting the outlet’s owner, Jeff Bezos – along with other media and technology barons – kneeling before Donald Trump as he gears up for his second US presidency...

Teaching 7 classes is one job, not 7 jobs.

7 classes for 7 different schools is one job?

I used to throw the newspaper to almost 200 different houses on a Sunday morning, but it never occurred to me to claim I had almost 200 jobs.

I’m obviously doing it wrong.

You’re right, Shirley. Throwing newspapers in peoples’ driveways and teaching graduate classes are absolutely equivalent. Don’t know why I didn’t think of that.

[KUTradition]

teaching graduate level classes isn’t nearly the work some make it out to be

oh, the toil!
