Adila Bibi's Key Ideas from I'm Rich, You're Poor
by Shabaz Ali

Being a povvo is great, because ... I don't know if anyone's noticed, but the lives of plastic people we stare at online do not look fun.

They holiday in Dubai.. their most meaningful relationships are with customer service assistants (who hate them) 🤦‍♀️

It is adult life as designed by a child who wants to be a Princess.. the child (played by an adult Influencer) can really play grown ups by pretending to require a stimulant.. but in place of dolls there are 3 million people watching on a phone.

Now we are playing the same game as the models, but we are destined to lose unless we buy some products..

No beauty products can make you beautiful..

I think the Internet cosmetics industry treats young women in a similar way to how crypto/investor socials approach teenage boys

... we turn to obsessive people with low body fat as a substitute for functioning healthcare systems, and the solutions to a society that has been massively disrupted by the rapid advance of technology.

... in reality we are all ill from a loss of community, a loss of social safety nets and the general psychological erosion that comes from spending too much time online..

... to dedicate time, money and thought to something that adds nearly no quality to your life is a sign of how free you are, and how much spare money and time you have.

Ice cubes literally melt away.

You are saying 'I have time and money to put into something that will disappear, because time and money are nothing to me'.
