This reads like she was living outside of her means and recently was forced to return to her financial reality, and is framing it as a choice she made lol

"Rich person that has everything the working class suffers to obtain, culturally appropriates the experiences of the working class to benefit themselves."
Rich people will steal anything.
"I like pretending to be poor just like the little people I step on to attain my wealth. It's a great change of pace!"
sometimes i like to strap 4 prosthetic legs to my hips and carry around pine needles in a pair of tweezers, after which i pour molten aluminum into an ant nest
"I want to live like common people. I want to do whatever common people do."
The William Shatner version of this is really good. Really spits out the "poor is cool" part

Nice. I’ve been planning for an extended period of being homeless, starving, and working on my interpersonal skills by relying on strangers for basic needs.
Oh, wait, not planning, I meant bracing. Silly me.
So brave 🥹
Not a joke tho
No one should have this privilege to begin with. Society should work to create a livable experience for everyone instead of constantly making comfort and stability an exclusive club.

BURN CORPO SHIT
"whisper networks of power players" doesn't set any alarm bells off for you? When you see something like that happening, you don't think, even for one second, "everyone in this room should become a fine pink mist very quickly." You don't think that?? You just go along with it and try to get some power for yourself?
PATHETIC
I'm just pretending to be poor and didn't lose it all on Tesla futures.

Mah, hailed by Forbes as a "wildly successful serial entrepreneur" who launched her first six-figure business in middle school, has built a business empire worth over $500 million. Despite these accomplishments, the 32-year-old describes herself as a “struggling entrepreneur.”
"Does my life sound like a fairy tale? When I hang out with aspiring entrepreneurs in college, they say they want my life. But my best friends who know me best almost always say they would HATE my life," Mah wrote candidly in her post.
She revealed working a minimum of 60 hours a week and grappling with what she calls "accomplishment dysmorphia." Mah also shared deeply personal struggles, including the pain of losing an ex-boyfriend to suicide and her ongoing battle with comparing herself to others.
gee I wonder if the boyfriend killed himself due to ending up with a relentless shark-eyed clout chaser with a soul so dark & empty a thousand universes in full bloom could never hope to fill it 🫢

Crazy, when I want to be grounded I just connect myself to the ground pin on my socket.
No.. I am not joking sadly https://groundingofficial.com/
i'm in a community for minimalist shoes/barefooting and this shit is the bane of our existence, every now and then someone joins and starts talking about grounding and it's miserable how few people are willing to firmly call it out as batshit nonsense
people seemingly can't do something unusual without a magical justification, "it feels nice" or "it's what we're evolved for" isn't enough, it's gotta be all spiritual and pseudoscientific apparently.
LMAO WTF is this?? xD. This website screams "healthcare scam", the spin to win wheel pop-up is the cherry on top.
I hope no one actually falls for this (please let me have this fantasy thx)
I have friends who sleep on a pile of wires…
I especially like that they claim electronics burst into flames if they're not grounded, because the electrons have nowhere to go.
Which, let's ignore the complete misunderstanding of how electricity works for a moment, but if they truly believe the ground pin does something functionally, how do they ignore all the shit that only has a two prong plug?

"entrepreneur playing the long game" ok fuck right off Jessica, in my country we say "stories made up in the beer garden"
If only she would ground herself in reality starting from the top floor of her skyscraper
Economy for fun. Mmmm, kinky. Make sure you have a safe word.
I just checked LinkedIn. She's a real person and this is a real post and there are 83 other real comments from her contacts agreeing with her and praising her. WTF.
Linkedin is the absolutely worst shithole socialmedia that has ever been created. 4chan is more down to earth. The idea in the beginning was great. Make it easier for people to create a network in order to get hired. Unfortunately that just leads to the nastiest of asskissing of capitalism in order to get seen.

What really matters is actually feeling that superiority when you get on a subway with the peasants.
Damn imagine flying economy. With the peasants /s
Probably flew premium economy. Or at the very least, still got priority boarding with mileage status.

Entrepreneur, your parents are rich, got it. Linkedin influencers, is there a more useless idiot?
Same energy:
This would be a lot more meaningful if she did that old trope and straight-up switched places with someone for the day. Eat what they would've eaten, travel how and where they would have traveled, stay where they would have stayed, and have the same amount of daily spending money they would normally have had (and if that number's zero, welp, guess it's good she's such a hard worker. I'm sure she she'll be fine.)
Dear Ms. Mah,
It's nice to want to understand what it's like to be a poor person, but you know what would actually help poor people? Sharing a bit of that excess you clearly enjoy. Come back and brag after you do a bit of that, then maybe we could talk.
Sincerely,
Economy-flying, home-cooking, subway riders.
I think she wants to cope with her downgrade or something along the lines...
