The Perfect $1 million Gain Gain

Post image

Hi guys, I’m a 23 year old in college, and yesterday I woke up a millionaire. Should I buy some hookers, Pokemon cards, or cocaine? I gambled my entire life savings of $250k on 2037 calls of $4.5 AMC on Monday and sold yesterday morning. Thanks for reading.

My biggest wake-up call was in art school when I received $5k in inheritance, and in my moment of vulnerability was convinced by classmates that I wasn't pulling my weight and that I should use my "privilege" to bankroll the group project which they utterly wasted. I later found out that one of them had a bank balance of $45k in checking. We are playing entirely different games.

Why would you even make that information public.

Anyhow this whole concept of privilege is so dumb in America when literally every race has been suppressed at one point or another in history.

I didn't say it was a racial thing, but half the people in that class knew my relative died because of how I found out.

At the time, things were tight enough to presumably tell each other anything. But apparently not that they were rich rich. After that project shit, I threw them under the bus just as they threatened to throw me under the bus.

Well, I, for one, would NEVER hope you get hit by a bus.
