Postponed for « five days », just until markets close next Friday. This is all just one big grift.

… Quietly

Don’t get me wrong, billionaires are definitely sociopaths. But our society, instead of giving them the treatment they deserve (institutionalisation and a therapy to develop empathy would be a good start) rewards them instead with power and influence.

I see many people cluelessly asking why it seems like billionaires are all sociopaths. That’s because society rewards it and selects for it, and that’s what we need to change first and foremost.

To borrow an image from the Scorpion and the Frog, if you’re a frog and you’re taking scorpions on your back, it’s nonsensical to hate the scorpions for stinging you, that’s in their nature. Instead, we should focus on not taking scorpions on our back, that is, not putting sociopaths in positions of power and authority.

The more I read about this guy, the less it seems like he knows anything about the Art of the Deal.

Maybe if our system didn’t allow mere individuals to collect a net worth equivalent to small countries…? Hate the game, not the players. Billionaires should not even exist in the first place.

According to the felon-in-chief, it was a “great deal.” You can trust him, he wrote the book about it. Or I think he dictated it. Is that why it’s called a dictator?

They should’ve asked their daddy to help them dodge the draft, like me.
