    I read the headline thinking ‘so what else is new’ and then realized they weren’t talking about the US. Here it wouldn’t be news at all.

      Over the past while, our government has essentially turned our welfare system into a parody of the US’s. This guy makes the most amazing Lego sculptures, and it’s so fucking sad he’s going through this.

            I dunno’, I still hear far too many people simping for the rich believing they all personally earned their riches and I hear far too many people still believing “capitalism” is just using money to buy things.

            Ignorance is alive and well.
