A thing that really bugs me about this socialism/jealousy stuff - Trub Lou - 01-02-2021
My Google news feed (just the default on my phone) has an article entitled "The world's richest men increased their fortunes during the pandemic while many struggled to make ends meet." The implication is that they somehow were taking money that should have gone to the less useful/productive. Not even an inkling of the truth in the headline or article, which is that men like Jeff Bezos put the world in a place where it could largely coast through an event that, 30 years ago, would have torn the planet apart. And they took a tiny tiny piece of the benefit that they brought to the world.
But no, let's demonize them rather than thank them, because jealousy is a stronger emotion for generating clicks than gratitude is.

Yup. Gotta get them clicks. I'll never understand peoples endearment to communism or fascism. Our country was created to fuck both of those in the ass. And we're winning. Anything other discussion is subversion.

I'm sure Elon Musk will be demonized for all the money he makes when he gets around to asteroid mining. Damn him and the technology he created!
