OP, presumably:
"Why don't poor people simply stop being poor? They should just ask their father for a small loan of a million dollars."
You need at least a Billion these days.
Make.sure to set a few million aside for Charity.
Constructive criticism, honestly:
Can we not do Reddit-style one-upping replies? You've added nothing to the thread except a very low-effort quip that leads to The Price Is Right "No, no, you need a trillion!" "No, no, you need a quadrillion!" etc. that just... sap every reader's seconds of their lives away.
I'm sure you say plenty of clever and helpful things elsewhere, but I'm so over Reddit and I don't want Lemmy to be like it.
I'm not sure how your original comment isnt in the same vein of Reddit style replies. You just made a quip based on a meme instead of a quip based on another comment.
I'm going to hold you hand when I tell you this...
Its too late for that.
