    I do not see others laughing. This isn’t exactly funny. How is a CEO getting paid much more than the average worker supposed to make me laugh? This more of a news article snippet than a meme

      Since when were memes exclusively meant to make you laugh? Memes have always been a means of societal commentary, think Rage Comics and AdviceAnimals plenty of the most famous ones talk about very real issues.

        Even something as simple as the “This is fine” meme could be considered “not funny” in the same way this meme is “not funny” depending on how it’s used.

      I am laughing. Because what else can you do, seeing the hell we were born into and will probably stay the same for the rest of our lives. Nothing is going to change and if you weren’t born on top, you’re never going to come out on top. No matter what you tell yourself.
