Ya gotta spend money to make money.

I mean, that’s technically true. If someone handed me 5 million, I could invest 4.5 million and live pretty comfortably for 5 to 10 years off the remaining 500k. In that time, the 4.5 million in the stock market would probably grow to around 9 million over 10 years. That’s why it’s difficult to get rich but easy to get richer.

People are desperately combing through comments, looking for something to be outraged about. That’s what happens in echo chambers - when the outgroup isn’t around to be attacked, people start eating their own. It turns into this insane purity spiral where nobody is ever good enough.
