What a joke. I spent the better part of the last three years working 70 hour weeks until I burned myself to a crisp. I'm much better off financially than many people my age, yet I am somehow still years away from homeownership and starting a family - if I ever can.
Maybe Whoopi should retire and let a millennial do her job for her pay. Not me; I don't think I'd be able to work as hard as her. 🙄
I wish famous people would just shut up if they're going to say stupid shit. I don't want her tainting my TNG rewatch.
Who the fuck does she know that only works four hours?
Even if wages kept up with inflation, housing prices sure as hell have not. The house I own sold for $62k back in 1988 which is about $163k today. We bought it for well over twice that eight years ago. We could probably sell it for $600k. It is one of the cheaper houses in the city. How the fuck are people starting out supposed to afford that? I get that she has little concept of housing prices anymore but you would think worry her growing up in public housing, she would be a little more sympathetic to people having a hard time. But I guess she is taking the "fuck you, I got mine route."
The only person she knows that works 4 hours/week is herself.
The rest of the time is spent playing Diablo on her Mac apparently
Getting paid as if we only worked 4 Boomer hours, I guess?
That’s when you learn to separate the art from the artist. Gunian has some rather wise words to say; Whoopi says some banal shit at times.
I dunno... I could actually see guinan spouting off some bullshit about hard work
"You know, that lt barclay spends all his time on the holodeck.. If he worked a little harder in engineering, he could afford a.... Oh wait, we live in a post-scarcity society. He already has all has basic needs met."
Tbh I think one of the only celebrities I'm able to separate the art from the artist, is probably Tom Cruise.
Goddamn can he make an entertaining movie even though he's absolutely batshit.
You sure you couldn't just talk bullshit for like an hour every weekday? I do that shit for free now.
