What do you think of leftist elites being able to tour space while you struggle to get by?

You know? The celebrities and elites that advocated for leftist politicians and ideologies while you can hardly afford rent, a week's vacation, or homeownership?

Yet, there are people adamant to support the left and their causes. It is sick!

My blood boils 😡

Frustrated

Not a problem

Jeffrey Bezos got $2.4 billion from the United States of America Federal Govt.

They did this publicity stunt to hide it.

Where everyone is focused on spectacle (The Left) and everyone is focused on DEI (The Right), Jeffery Bezos is able to get away with heinous authority.

Reminder: This Administration is trying to get $170k tax cuts for the ultra wealthy and the way they are going to achieve it is by killing OUR medicaid, social security, and other benefits that help The Working Class & Elderly of this great nation.

Where Amazon employees are having to pee in bottles at their work station because they deduct pay for when you use the restroom on company time, we should have more compassion and not stand for this.

We are The United States of America, it will be a cold day in Hell when we let our working class & our citizens down. Stand up! Speak out! Don’t let them get away with it.

[MisterWack]

Again! Come together as Right & Left and speak out against the injustice going on before our eyes.
Don’t play Left or Right, play the American system! Stand up!

I wholly support the ability to have a middle class. Right now, the middle class is under attack. The wealth gap continues to grow, and we will (if not already) have the elites and everybody else. Fuel prices remain high. Groceries remain very high. I can go through $200 in groceries in a week. I am explaining the hardships I am experiencing firsthand at a personal level. Greed is running rampant. Opportunities to move up the ladder of success is dwindling. AI automation is threatening many tech jobs right now. I have already switched careers once. Now I am having to consider changing careers entirely once again.

The Xiden regime was a shitshow. I am hoping Trump will make things better, but I am even starting to lose hope in his administration. I don't know what the answer is anymore.

[MuddyMole]

I don't really care. Since the aerospace industry has effectively been privatized, companies like Blue Origin and SpaceX are performing missions that previously would have been handled by NASA (a taxpayer-funded government agency), and this is just how they pay for and market their operations. Or would you rather the taxpayer paid?

Of course, I do also support a tax on wealth - and by that, I don't mean income, but actual accumulated wealth (very conservatively, you could impose a 5% tax on all wealth above $5M - that's still less than the passive income from the interest on their savings).

[Julie_TS]

I don't know, def weird that you're trying to politicize a 10min spaceflight. But, ok

I have no problem with KP & GK taking this opportunity. They have both succeeded in life and can choose to spend their money how they see fit. At least they're not crooked politicians grifting throughout life. They're the ones that your misguided anger of 'suffering average Americans' should be directed towards.

Here's a thought, develop a talent or do something in life and then maybe you won't be mad at others who have made something of themselves. And, that way you wouldn't have to be a suffering average American.

I do not have a problem of successful people enjoying their success. I have a problem with hypocrites with major influence supporting regimes and ideologies that hurt the wallets of everyday Americans while they enjoy their lives unscathed.

[Julie_TS]

Thanks for the MHO!!!

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Regardless of the brief Blue Origin excursion to the edge of the Earth's atmosphere, people who worked hard to earn tons of dough can damn well spend it any way they want.

They won't get any spat from me.

Who they chose to invite on their journeys (outer space or deep space or on the grounds of Earth) is also their prerogative.

[IHaveRespawned]

My issue is not with people enjoying their wealth. My issue is when leftist hypocrite elites weilding major influential power supports ideologies and leftist politicians who rape the wallets of everyday Americans while they enjoy their lives unscathed.

[IHaveRespawned]

... these are the same wealthy leftist elite who support open borders, taxpayer-supported illegal immigration, globalization, expensive welfare schemes and beyond, yet they get to enjoy their lavish gated communities, private security, and lavish excursions.

Meanwhile, we are trying to clean up a mess while everyday Americans are even lucky to afford a personal emergency. They were there to voice their support for Obama, Biden, and Harris.

[contentious]

Why are you so obsessed with satanists almost being expelled from the blue planet floating into darkness? Why not just give them a little more fuel and send them out of orbit then call it a day.

Oh I don't know, what do you think about billionaire Oligarchs wasting billions giving joy rides in space to rich celebrities and their Oligarch friends? What fucking purpose does that serve other than a theme park for billionaires to show off to satisfy their egos?

[NaultD]

Where they actually leftist working class proletariat? Katy Perry? The marxist definitive solder.

Have you ever heard of bioshock? The whole point of the game is an Ayn Rand figure called Andrew Ryan made a city under water and it goes to shit. The whole logic is double going to space.

You need star trek level socialism to be in space. Full stop end of discussion.

[Syntosi]

I am all in favor of the government confiscating all assets above 1 billion dollars and redistribute them. How about you?

[IHaveRespawned]

I am sort of torn on this. There is a problem when the top 1 percent own the majority of the nation's wealth. Ironically, many of these elites are hypocrites that backed leftist politicians. They are the socio-political elites.

I don't support punishing people for being successful. Although, I also don't agree with the widening wealth gap, a struggling/disappearing middle class, and socio-political elites trying to dictate what's "moral" and "ethical" while they are cozied away from the aftermath and devastating effects of their wrongdoings.

[Syntosi]

Dude, the top 1% are not supporting leftist ideology. They are hardcore capitalist and enjoy the authoritarianism on the right wing because that gives them more power personally.

Just look at how many billionaires are in Trumps current administration as opposed to Biden or whatever. Its not even close.

[IHaveRespawned]

Dude there are fucking crooks on both sides of the political isle. I am fighting Republican legislators on the state-level to improve fire and emergency services in an area that is lacking. A small, non-profit fire department ran by a corrupt, embezzling chief with family members as board of directors is depriving a community of public safety while politicians are sweeping it under the rug.

I have called the state comptroller, the fire Marshall's office and multiple state agencies. Nothing gets done.

[Syntosi]

If there is 1 crock on the left and 100 on the right then calling it 50/50 is not particularly honest.

[IHaveRespawned]

Most of your leftist freaks support racist DEI practices, identity politics, tranny education for children, and are entitled.

Holy shit, even the lady that is staying downstairs at my home is bat shit fucking crazy with a Harris sticker. on her car. She complained to my mother I somehow "trigger" her as I establish boundaries and install cameras in the exterior of the property. She yells "fuck you" at me as I am painting doors and doing home improvement chores. She peels into the driveway aggressively when she sees me outside. She is about to be one dead bitch.

[Syntosi]

Say what you want, but they are not the 1%. Those people are almost exclusively right wing.

[IHaveRespawned]

I want proof. Because remember Mark Zuckerberg among other wealthy elites were conspiring with the Xiden administration and leftist politicians to censor and cancel Americans with conservative ideologies from its platforms. Remember Twitter before Musk took it over?

[IHaveRespawned]

... and remember, there are rules for the elites and there are rules for everything else. It is most certainly two-tiered. I lost my career and livelihood because I brought a cookie cake to a girl when it was unwanted. Radical leftist neofeminism is a large contributor as to why persistent and otherwise innocent men are being labeled as "predators" and "creeps". Yet, you see elites getting away with crime without so much as a slap on the wrist.

[Syntosi]

Well for starters, Mark Zuckerberg (among most wealthy elites) has switched over to MAGA and become Trump supporters since he won power. Why? Because Trump won power. Their support is not really based on personal beliefs, they are based on personal benefits which means they will pander to the powerful and corrupt.

Likewise the bans on right wing politics on social media is not fueled by ideology, its fueled by the demands of advertisers.

Generally speaking, the higher you climb in capitalism the more you tend to be willing to skew your personal ideology and morality when it benefits you.

But you want proof? Sure. Lets just compare the administrations themselves and count the amount of rich people. Biden has around 10 million dollars. Some claim he has gained like 30 million since but those are rumors and at this scale it does not matter either way. Trump on the other hand is around 4100 million to 7080 million or 4.1-7.08 billion dollars.

[Syntosi]

To be in the 1% you need around 11-12 million dollars which means that Biden may or may not qualify depending on who you believe on his net worth. Trump on the other hand probably qualifies for the 0.1% which is technically the "true" elites.

Biden Administration:
Janet Yellen, Secretary of the Treasury - Around 20 million, give or take.
Merrick Garland, Attorney General - between $7.6 million and $25 million
Tom Vilsack, Secretary of Agriculture - Around $4 million. Not part of the 1%
Marty Walsh, Secretary of Labor - $2.5 million. Not part of the 1%

Basically to speed this up. 13 out of 15 of them are millionaires, not billionaires. The total of all 15 is $118 million dollars.

First Trump administration (minus Trump):
$6.2 billion combined for all 15.

Second Trump administration (minus Trump):
I dont feel like counting this one but its at least $382.2 billion.

Just from the money alone, Biden had one of the poorest administrations in modern history where as Trump has by far the richest. Trumps administration is by definition full of the elites you claim to hate. Not only did they choose to back him, but they are literally on his team in government right now.

they need to be sentenced to arena combat instead,

Going into space has advanced technology in so many ways, but this was just cringe woke #slayqueen #boss babes nonsense

[MrChinaski]

Katy Perry's life choices do not affect me. If she is happier for the trip then I am ever so marginally happy for her.

[IHaveRespawned]

The problem is not wealthy people enjoying their wealth. The problem is the hypocrisy of leftist elites supporting leftist candidates and ideologies that harm the everyday American while they enjoy their lives unscathed by the consequences. These are the same people who voiced support for Obama, Biden, and Harris, politicians who allowed open borders and illegal immigration on the taxpayer dime, yet they get to enjoy their gated properties, private security, and lavish lifestyles.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Leftist elites, my handsome black a**. You Trumpsters are jealous of thee accomplished women because many of you literally live in your parents' basement!!!1

[IHaveRespawned]

I think a lot of Zilennials live at their parents' homes due to Xiden's disastrous economic consequences.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Xiden's and BOTH parties' catering to the rich !!!

I think this is awesome! Now that climate change is a thing of the past we can all go out and waste energy.

[Dargil]

They are spending money and supporting American jobs. Isn't that great?

[Dongie]

Ain't that something! I was thinking along those lined earlier. Who paid for this trip?

[IHaveRespawned]

I think it was a Jeff Bezos space launch, although while leftist celebs get to scorch money on lavish trips to space, average Americans suffer.

[DrPepper12]

It's a bezos PR stunt. Doesn't even qualify as a shiny object

[seeyounexttuesday]

I don’t want to hear jack shit from them about climate change.

[SmokinAces2000]

Do you even know what the hell you’re talking about?

[Vampirelover_12]

Clearly you've never talked to a leftist

[Kelly6]

others life joy is nothing to do with me

[IHaveRespawned]

It most certainly has something to do with you when they are influencing support for leftist politicians that harm your wallet and the wallet of everyday Americans. That is where I have the problem.
