It's probably not a good idea to piss off people with corporeal power. Xi makes a lot less than Jack Ma, but I think that he showed him who's In Charge.

- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> corporeal power ?
- NewJazz 2y agoPresumably the PRC/CCP is a body in this metaphor.
- ChrisMarshallNY 2y agoMeaning power over the body (armed thugs, for example). Bit of a play on words. Ma has power over the money, but Xi has power over Ma's body. Rich people often think that money is everything (and they are usually correct), but there are some things that money can only buy, when facing a bat with nails driven through it.
- scyzoryk_xyz 2y ago*Rich people in America How much you “make” is a silly concept in many places in the world. “People with guns listening to you” is the real power.
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> How much you “make” Anyone talking about how much they "make" isn't rich (in the respect we're discussing) in any society.
