The system as it is cannot continue this way. Something must break.
I don’t understand how more people aren’t upset by this. I guess that’s why they installed Trump, to keep us mad about everything else…
What does Bernie mean by real tax rate? How is he calculating that 1.1%
I thought that the rule was supposed to be two months income.
I guess Jeff doesn’t really love his new wife.
Jesus Christ. Two months’ income is so insane. I’d be pissed if my boyfriend bought me a ring that expensive.
Two months is what DeBeirs, the assholes who hold a monopoly on diamonds, arbitrarily told people to spend on a diamond.
Ultimately it should be what makes both parties happy.
When I still loved her, I got my ex an engagement that was about two days salary tbh. She had many faults, but that’s about the only thing she never gave me shit for.
you might not mind too much if you lived in a time when women didn’t have their own bank accounts or source of income not controlled by their husbands. it was actually a decent rule when it was the only thing of real value you truly owned and could sell if you needed to gtfo of an abusive relationship or give you a bit of breathing room if you were widowed suddenly (and your husband’s family decided not to take care of you once he was gone).
but yes, now a days is definitely overkill.
Like abused wives can easily escape and do their life without repercussions. It isn’t a rule to favor abused wives.
My ass was confused there’s a different category for wedding rings that has this generally insane pricing. There are a lot of other ways to show a partner they are special. Like a memorable trip for two somewhere nice can go well under that.

This 1,000,000x time more than some expensive piece of metal and rock
jeffery is not capable of human emotions like love and empathy
Current net worth you mean?
Raisin network on average.
Earned on the backs of working class.
Did Amazon ever acknowledge or deign to negotiate with the unions formed by their workers?
You must pee in a bottle and process a package in 25 seconds… For the prosperity of Bezos.
For the prosperity of Bezos.
That sounded like a legit chant.
Sorry, warehouse is closed.
The rich are thieves that steal from us, our kids, our future!
Dam that’s an expensive doorbell
TCP/IP? IPX? Arcnet? Token ring?
Damn, her ring is a hundred times less than their ride?
If I do the math with my five hundred dollar ranger that’s about a ring pop.
Net worth is two words.
Luigi… Luigi what? Does anybody remember that name?
Network?
I’m as mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore!
Dang thanks! Spell correct bitting me hard
Bitting?
Net worth*
Oh, I get it. Your network is your net worth.
Only 0.000021%. It seems you accidentally threw in an extra zero.
The fact an order of magnitude made functionally no difference is ridiculous.
He’s actually three zeros off.
It’s 0.0021%
Damn, you’re right. I forgot to account for the conversion to %.
Much better.
As bad as things are, most Americans are not living paycheck to paycheck. It looks like that 60% figure comes from a single survey from an online banking company in 2023. The Fed reports the majority of US adults have had at least 3 months of emergency savings every year since 2018.
