    all the rich people got together to pass a bill two days ago so that the president couldn’t singlehandedly crash the economy like this again.

    I thought Lemmy was anti-rich people? Aren’t you happy rich people are scared of losing their money? Are you happy that a bunch of rich guys got together to make it even harder to take away their wealth? That seems at odds with what I usually see here

      “I thought Lemmy was anti-rich people?”

      I’ll take that into account.

      “Aren’t you happy rich people are scared of losing their money?”

      I’m interested in policy and uninterested in rich people feelings.

      I appreciate your newfound agreement that rich people seem scared, but their fear doesn’t emotionally affect me one way or another in and of itself.

      “Are you happy that a bunch of rich guys…their wealth?”

      I’ll refer you to my earlier answer.

      “That seems at odds with what I usually see here”

      drawing a specific conclusion based on generalizations and assumptions will have you seeing lots of strange things.

      love your domes, btw.
