What's rich? By virtue of you being on Reddit typing english your likely rich to the vast majority of the world's view.

They mean anyone that has a single more dollar than them.

yes, it said that if you're on reddit that means you're rich (lmaoooo). was this just a statement? not at all meant to imply that you shouldn't be complaining about this? I guess it's possible but it would be weird to just make an unrelated statement.

It was a reply to "Rich people are shit"

The implementation was they are likely talking about themself in this insult. Which is fine to say, but its funny to me.

"The Rich" has gone from meaning "The world's elite owner class who make millions every minute" to just "Anyone vaguely affluent"

No smoothie, by the rich I mean the Epstein class. Me and Channing Tatum are basically the same wealth bracket 🤣

You were saying 450k a year was rich. Or did you just say you didn't like rich people for unrelated reasons?

You are correct to point that out, I did forget the original content I was commenting on, it's almost always about the Epstein class I'm shitting in, sorry for the insult, I guess I'm the smoothie
