This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Someone who has maybe one or two million dollars doesn't even come close to the power that a CEO or major stockholder of a big company wields. If you're on that level, it's pretty much impossible to become poor, which very much remains a possibility with 1-2 million.
Middle class is a thing for a reason, and if you're going to say that it doesn't exist because only the owners of capital aren't working class then the dude with 2 million is still working class.
no, i'm saying that unless that 1-2 millionaire started from nothing, he does not know the experience of struggle and eventual relief that is escaping the labour trap
And I'm saying that the difference between a low-end millionaire and a billionaire is just as large, if not larger, as the difference between a low-end millionaire and a poor person. People like the CEO he (allegedly) killed don't view him as a peer.
