Imagine if we gave hoarders the same status we give wealthy people.

Like you're invited over for dinner.

You get to the door and ring the bell. They yell, "come in." You push the door open against 10000 stacked news papers pushing back at you. You're instantly hit with the smell of animal feces and urine. You unironically say, "wow, so decadent." You climb over a pile of furniture and to get to a small clearing in with a couch and a coffee table covered in clutter. You tell your host, "So much stuff, I'm so jealous, you truly possess all the worlds material goods." They heat up some discount canned ravioli on a hot plate because the only place in the entire house you can habitate is that small clearing with the couch.

After you finish your fine dining experience you leave and you realize you never once saw any animals.

Hoarding is a disease. Doesn't matter if it's useless garbage or the idea of a pile of money you'll never use.

Bill Burr for senate

Fucking based, I need more people with focus saying shit the people are thinking.

Free luigi

Maybe we collectively need to recognize billionaires like they recognize their workers. I propose the following:

1. “Becoming a billionaire” is still a thing that the most aggressive, ambitious sociopaths among us can aspire to. Because they and the broken people that idolize them will insist that great things cannot happen without the promise of great rewards. And obviously the only “reward” of any meaning to them is money.

2. Once you are a billionaire, you get a nationally broadcast pizza party on CSPAN and we engrave your name into a plaque in some “hall of smart winners” somewhere in DC. You are declared a champion of the economy and the President shakes your hand and declares a one-time national day to be in your honor. Or they read your name during the superbowl that year or whatever. Your place in history is locked in.

3. Assets and earnings in excess of 1 billion are seized and given to charity, or infrastructure, or healthcare or whatever. Used for the betterment of society. It should be done responsibly in a way that won’t ruin the assets, for example not liquidating billions in stock all at once.

4. The government publishes a leaderboard every year that shows which Champions of the Economy™️ gave the most back to society that year in the form of excess earnings. And we all pretend that we’re REALLY impressed.

They can have their on-paper status and their superficial adoration they hunger for. And they can even be stupidly rich by ANY standard.

So I guess he’s not welcome on Joe Rogan anymore?

The rich are not the problem, the wealthy are the problem. I like the way Chris Rock put it: 'Shaq is rich... The white man who signs his check is wealthy.'

Millions of people could be up there with Bill Burr, if a few hundred wouldn't hoard over half of all wealth in the country.

Man Bill Burr went from being a heel edgelord to a champion of the working class. He's a true American.

Bros humor is salty as hell but i like it. Kinda a hookers and cocaine kind of leftist.

Highly based

Hello? Is this the based department?

America needs the next Luigi!

Yep, let people make all the money they want, but once you hit 10 billion, you get luigi'd.

Bill Burr has always been Based.

Me: EAT THE RICH! Bill Burr: I got you fam...

1. To be clear, the 1% I am speaking about are NOT the 1% of your neighborhood, county, or city(necessarily). I speak of the Global 1%. The 1% that make your retired home owning uncle with just under 1million in his retirement look like the firmly lower middle class that he is.

Dumb shit clueless billionaires: "I've rented a house for a vacation once, they want $21,000 a week!?"

Disagree. Rabid dogs who must be euthanized deserve care, compassion, and respect when doing so. Rabies isn't a life choice a dog makes.

Billionaires deserve no such care, compassion, or respect.

also did Bill Burr ever apologize for all the transphobic shit he's said recently? Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with anyone of any walk of life gaining class consciousness, especially if they talk about it. But it'd be even better if he's stopped being transphobic on top of that.
