They have bills that don’t wait for shutdowns to end.
This is absolutely a billionaire thing b/c it demonstrates that billionaires have no concern for the people they affect since they have the luxury of cash coffers that most Americans don’t have.
Look I’m not objecting to being angry at billionaires, but TBH there are millions and millions of people who don’t live paycheck to paycheck and aren’t inconvenienced by a delay in getting paid. You don’t have to be anywhere near a billionaire to be in that category. If you want me to be the enemy for not jumping up and down cheering for this post, fine - or get a sense of perspective.
I’m not sure if you realize this, but “millions and millions” is still “single digit millions”. The talking heads say things like “millions and millions” because it sounds like a lot, but that’s actually a minority.
That still leaves hundreds of millions of Americans who are living paycheck to paycheck. In fact, they’re living at least 4 paychecks out on revolving debt.
Nearly half of Americans “at least somewhat agree” that they’re living paycheck to paycheck (source) - which means MORE than half are not. Clearly not “single digit millions” and clearly not a minority.
Anyway, what I said was that you don’t have to be anywhere near a billionaire. So please don’t conjure numbers out of thin air to counter this simple fact.
