=== Thinky Face: Worth and Work (04:21) ===

[00:00:00]  Yeah, it's funny, it's fucked up.
[00:00:02]  Burt Macklin, yeah, said, a lot of billionaires were born in our country were born into extreme wealth, and Megan Thomas replies, and does that hurt your feelings?
[00:00:14]  Because I could care less.
[00:00:16]  It affects me in no way!
[00:00:19]  I still go to work every day and do my job and get paid what I'm worth.
[00:00:23]  Plain and simple.
[00:00:25]  If I think I deserve more, I negotiate or find another job.
[00:00:29]  But will I find one with better benefits?
[00:00:31]  Thinky face.
[00:00:32]  Thinky face.
[00:00:33]  Probably not.
[00:00:34]  So why the fuck would I waste my time bitching about how much money somebody else makes when I'm doing perfectly fine at my job with the money I make?
[00:00:47]  People like Kimberly, I don't know who Kimberly is, kill me.
[00:00:50]  Always hating on successful people.
[00:00:53]  Grow the fuck up.
[00:00:54]  Don't fucking worry about how much Jeff Bezos makes.
[00:00:59]  And I can't believe like we haven't really addressed this specific point on this show before, but this is like a very anti-working class point.
[00:01:09]  You only make the money that you're worth.
[00:01:11]  We exist in a meritocracy.
[00:01:13]  If you want to make more money, find a better job.
[00:01:16]  Better yourself.
[00:01:18]  Learn new skills.
[00:01:19]  Go buy that new skills wallet.
[00:01:23]  Better yourself.
[00:01:25]  But just this comment in particular, I think, lays out the False consciousness and like American... the weirdo like bootlickery that happens in America so well.
[00:01:39]  It calls itself out.
[00:01:41]  Yes, it does.
[00:01:41]  It calls itself out.
[00:01:43]  She is saying...
[00:01:45]  I go to work every day and do my job and get paid what I'm worth.
[00:01:50]  I do not deserve anything more than what I am currently making.
[00:01:56]  This is what I am worth.
[00:01:59]  $18 an hour is all my life is worth.
[00:02:02]  I'm being generous in saying Megan makes $18 an hour because she is so fucking high and mighty in this comment section.
[00:02:11]  If I think I deserve more, I negotiate or find another job.
[00:02:15]  But she hasn't done that, so she does not think she is worth more than what she is currently making.
[00:02:22]  Which would be presumptuous if she didn't clarify that in the next sentence.
[00:02:27]  But will I find one with better benefits?
[00:02:31]  Probably not.
[00:02:32]  Probably not.
[00:02:33]  Because I'm not worth better benefits, and I've come to accept that.
[00:02:37]  And that's the whole thing.
[00:02:40]  A lot of the American middle class does not work in benefits to their full package.
[00:02:47]  A lot of people are out there saying, like, listen, I make $19 an hour.
[00:02:52]  I don't have benefits.
[00:02:54]  I work 33 hours a week, but I make $19 an hour, so therefore I'm good.
[00:03:00]  Which, by the way, in a lot of America is fantastic, but where I'm from?
[00:03:05]  Where I live currently, you cannot rent a one-bedroom apartment or a studio apartment with that rent at all.
[00:03:16]  No, no.
[00:03:17]  And you sure as shit can't afford healthcare.
[00:03:20]  Nope, none of those perks.
[00:03:24]  They're perks.
[00:03:24]  They're calling benefits here, but they're called perks.
[00:03:27]  You know?
[00:03:28]  Yeah.
[00:03:29]  I just love, like, she is laying it bare.
[00:03:32]  No!
[00:03:33]  If I thought I was worth more money, like, I would go try and get a better job.
[00:03:38]  But I know that I'm not worth that much money.
[00:03:41]  So you don't hear me complaining.
[00:03:42]  Yeah.
[00:03:43]  Insane.
[00:03:44]  Just, like, insane, like, miserable level of, like, groveling.
[00:03:49]  Of bootlicking.
[00:03:54]  Kevin, so more specifically on the subject of like epic leftist gulag talk, Kevin McCloskey said about like, oh, this is what all Bernie Sanders supporters think.

=== Misattributed Quotes (00:41) ===

[00:04:10]  This is like what Bernie Sanders himself thinks.
[00:04:14]  A lot of right-wing Facebook pages were posting the quotes from this field organizer.
[00:04:23]  And not attributing them to a field organizer, but just posting the quotes and then posting an article where the thumbnail was Bernie Sanders talking into a microphone?
[00:04:34]  Yep, yep.
[00:04:37]  And every single person in the comment section was like, why would people vote for him if he says these things?
[00:04:45]  God, how is the media not covering him saying this?
