Just read this and I'm laughing my ass off here. I've been out on the ale with friends from work so I'll save my reply for tomorrow.

the first scenario is a possibility although this banana strain ain't shit, but I still like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt
Anyways, time to load up on stocks in the military, surveillance technology, artificial intelligence, anything having to do with Israel, and basically all of Elon Musk’s companies. Lots of money to be made there.

Yes.
in the exposure of systematic child rape and it’s coverup? He was pivotal/the good guy. I am by now convinced of that.

Guys, I believe that we're focused on the wrong issue. Those extra rich people want us to hate each other for silly things instead of noticing their corruption, lobbying the laws that favour them but harm us. Evangelist? Muslim? Woke? Doesn't freakin' matter, our enemies are the extra rich who make themselves even richer and us poorer

I will care about "Extra Rich people" when Musk or Bezos is on camera raping a kid or slicing up an invalid with a machette in broad daylight.
Untill then I cannot give much of a fuck that they own more then me. Or that they support whistleblowers like Robinson in recent years for that matter.

god...I hate this persistently pedaled falsehood. they don't make you "poorer" they just get richer quicker.
its a zero-sum fallacy—the incorrect idea that wealth is a fixed pie where one person's gain must come at another's direct expense.
if you want to blame someone for things like cost of living going up blame politicians.
They're the ones who wage wars,
They're the ones with a monopoly on force.
They're the ones raising taxes without your consent, Basically stealing whatever they need from you.
The only thing Entrepeneurs like the aforementioned are "guilty" of, is seducing you to buy their product(s) which you can simply refuse.

The thing is, there’s an entire class of people like myself who continue investing in their companies because they’re so profitable, purely for their own self-benefit. It’s no longer “the poor” vs “the rich” - it’s the people who have accomplished *something* (any success, any net worth above six figures USD) vs angry Redditors who remained unemployed/underemployed and are angry that people continue ordering from Amazon, buying Teslas, etc
(and yes, I do own a Tesla, but it’s just an example of a now-controversial product that eat-the-rich types hate)

Luckily I lack one of the seven sins, envy. I do not care that other people have more stuff or nicer stuff than me. I am happy with what I got and besides, I know it's a cliche, but health is the most important thing to me.

It’s not just envy.
its the sticky, pervasive and frankly, diluted idea that all and everything must and should be “equal” somehow.. and if that’s not the case and one has earned his living through competence, like musk, then that is somehow evil and “undemocratic”
you could make a strong case that inherited wealth like say: a monarch and his prince/ princess is to a degree unfair. But that balloon does not go up for zuck, Jeff, bill or Elon.

Yep, a few people like Bernie Sanders are screeching that Elon Musk became a trillionaire while children are starving. Starving children isn’t a money problem - it’s a politics, distribution, supply chain, and corruption problem.

True. Also: I love how its millionaire ++ extraordinare politicus Sanders, who has by my knowledge never worked an honest job or payed taxes for virtually his entire life.
that is making the accusation here.
Yeah, conservatives on Facebook called him out on his bullshit
to be fair, even if it were AOC making those comments (which she does all the time), she’d get dragged for something else, like being a former bartender

I actually quite like AOC.. like, as a character... At the very least she has some youthfull fighting spirit about her as opposed to the rest of the crusty boomers who also think "real socialism has never been attempted"..
plus, most of the time she sais something I have to laugh.
