    The global top 1% is making about $32,500 a year. So some of you greedy ass bitches are holding everyone else down with your valet parking and $450 dinners.

    In the United States.


    Globally, it is the richest 1%, which this report is talking about.

    Hella skewed. 3-billion people live on less than $2.50 USD/day (>1bn less than half that).

    No way can all inhabitants earn the average of the top 1%. So what's the solution?

    It would be nice if the planet survived.

    The best thing for the earth would be a lack of human beings.

    Terrible. I had the flu and now I'm just dying from sinus pain. I was almost better and then went to chinook winds to play th,fri,sat, breathed smoke in the club (legal to smoke so says the siletz tribe)
    and now I'm fucked.
    I blame slysmokerdog and his slot yanking ilk.
