Oh, I'm rich. I know it. I dont pretend not to be rich.
Careful you're privilege will start showing as you find leisure time through the working day. People might start thinking your some bougie asshole.
Being privliged isnt being evil. Its when you're not aware of your own privileges and it affects your decisions (especially as a law maker) that its an issue
Says the bougie asshole lecturing people about being poor and not understanding how actual people live.

Yeah, I'm sure you really wearing tattered clothes and dumpster diving there Mr Liar in Chief.
Not going to dox myself, but you can see from my previous comments that, yes, I dont buy new clothes or electronics and I dumpster dive for my food whenever possible
Sure you do buddy, sure you do. I'm sure you the ever so egalitarian, progressive prince turned pauper saving the poor one social media post at a time.
How am I saving the poor? Eating day old bread doesn't save the poor.
Sure you do buddy, sure you do. We all eat day old bread, hell most of us end up eating week old bread most of the time, sometimes it's a month old frozen when your buying from Costco but we know you don't that.
I'm not lecturing people about being poor. I'm calling out the person who is privileged and doesn't recognize their own privilege
