Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

I wanted to start a company by proving a concept and license IP. I only needed $3000 more dollars. Lost my job and it fell through because I had to spend my extra money for that effort to survive instead. His parents owned an emerald mine. If people like me had the same resources we could be successful too. It's not that we hate success as much as we hate the fact that ours was taken in bad faith and with exploitation and political bribery. Wage stagnation and the aftermath of 2008 propagated to everyone's pockets and it hurt.
