Insane how grown ass adults believe in absolute fairy tales written by the rich/kings to keep the lower classes subservient. In 2026.

I'd love to ask someone in the 1940s what they'd think of 2026. I bet they'd think we were all living on other planets and half cyborg by now. But nah. Trillionaires.

I feel like a trillionaire in 2026 would not be that surprising to someone from the 1940s, considering they had billionaires back then too.

Right. But I'm not sure they'd think this much wealth disparity would still exist with all the technology.
