    yeah, but that’s the societal trap. who cares what other people think if you know you’re doing the right thing by taking care of people who take care of you?

      Well that’s the thing apparently rich people care very much what other rich people think about that. It is pathological mental illness.

      and they own all the media to ensure that bootlickers think what they want.

      Something about camel passing through the loop of a needle.

      And there is a reason why Jesus didn’t negotiate with the money changers polluting the temple.

        I agree with everything you’re saying. Maybe since its so in-our-faces now, things will maybe change? time will tell.

      In principle, you’re correct.

      In practice, the social pressure from rich peers will generally win out.
