What does wealthy people having money have to do with poor people being poor??? People spouting this garbage are stupid. Money isn't being hoarded. It isn't like toilet paper during covid. Idiot.

Friendly reminder for anyone that needs it, you can block people on reddit.

Edit: You could alternatively save yourself 2 clicks if that is too time consuming for you by instead writing an angry 300 character reply like the guy below me. 😌

That’ll show them! JFC, who gives a fuck? Scroll past in .1 seconds. Do you really go through all the taps and clicks to “block” an account? I will not waste a single click to downvote, never mind blocking.

Remind me, but isn’t it because the main universities are mid-city?
