Come on. This is deeply paranoid and itself rather spiteful.
If you cannot discern the differences between the different ways that people can be well-meaning but wrong and a need to Punish Richie Rich, then you frankly need work on some people skills.
- fogihujy 6y agoNot at all; I've spoken with several people like that as well, and while the grandparent and I are onlytwo anecdotal data points I have no doubt they're out there.
- pessimizer 6y agoIt's also bizarre. No one thinks that the rich are suffering other than the rich. Poor people don't think that the drifting of numbers on paper that don't affect a person's physical health or quality of life in the slightest count as suffering. Of course they don't. For a poor person, either jobless or reporting to a low-paid job that exposes them to potentially bankrupting covid infections, with their kids at home, to worry about the upset of the perpetually bailed-out wealthy is like a beaten, starved dog outside on a winter night worrying that its owner might miss their favorite TV show.

For example, they want the housing and stock market to crash so that there is more parity between the haves and the have nots. If you are low income worker in California, every homeowner with a 401k is Richie rich.
