    Font - nottherealneal • 5d S 1 Award There used to be a really nice big park in the center of the city where I live. Everyone would go there, it was a nice open space, take your kids, take your dogs, enjoy the fresh air. Then some people from the rich part of town along the edges of the park decided they didn't like the noise coming from the park and pulled some bullshit to buy it out and walled it off so you couldn't go to the park unless you lived in that specific neighborhood anymore.

    Font - MexicanAugustus • 5d Cheap foods, like Chicharrones or Tuétano (I'm from Mexico). When I was a kid, Tuétano was something that were even gift in meats market, now they sell you a damn bone in meat price or even higher!! The same with chicharrón, that was really cheap to buy, but with rich people discovering how good it is, now is impossible. All places up the prices because rich people buy it at high rates, and don't know what the heck they are shopping anyway. ... Reply 4.1k

    Font - Bkafrogurl 5d Instagram. When it first launched we were content to post grainy pics of our average looking sandwich that we made ourselves. Or a mundane selfie. The background and the angle didn't matter. Studies show that since the wealthy started sharing their lives on IG, our collective standard of living changed. And it's trickled down to our influencers mimicking wealth down to average users. We're exposed to yacht parties. expertly organized and color-coded walk-in closets, high-end

    Font - Joe Morgue 5d ● Sailboats. Used to be you could on a working man's salary get a decent day sailing boat that you could go out with for the day with enough cabin space and amentities to live aboard for a long weekend, maybe a week. Like the MacGregor 26. But nobody makes mere sailboats anymore, they make... YACHTS. Expensive, over designed yachts. Reply 3.6k

    Font - mythrowawayforfilth. 5d 1 Award Any hobby where there's potential profit. Now you've got dickheads like the Logan Paul ruining Pokémon cards. Not because they're into them because they like Pokémon but because they read the stories about the rare cards and just hammered their endless piles of cash into getting everything. Same with those asshole sheiks with massive comic book collections. They don't give a fuck about comics. They just collect popular valuable stuff. Reply 11.6k
