      I don’t disagree. I just dont think bullshit is going away anytime soon, and feel strongly that fooling the wealthy into forking over some of that fortune is a net positive. Like, who exactly is hurt by selling bullshit fancy water to snoots? They said it was easy, so I said do it, because why shouldn’t any of us take advantage of people that build their fortunes on taking advantage of others?

      Lots of things are bullshit and some of us have too much while others have too little. Everybody’s gotta eat, though. And there are countless scams out there that actually cause people harm. As far as I can tell, this just isn’t one of them, so I dont see a problem with the working class getting the wealthy to pay ridiculous amounts for cheap and unnecessary bullshit.

      Im wrong about a lot of things, though. Maybe I’m just missing something here?

        I think you read context that wasn’t there. All I mentioned was level level of ease, and I got a reference that I didn’t understand and then a odd tangent as way of an explanation.

          That is entirely my bad, then. Tbh I suffer from unmedicated adhd and nothing in your comment is very far off from me having a typical difficult day with that. Just didn’t realize until it was pointed out to me.

          On my end, I was just jovially saying “do it if it’s so easy lol”. Didn’t actually mean to say do it so much as joke about saying it, but I saw the negative reception it took to and felt defensive. Started saying too much, as I tend to do in that position, and I am realizing that I am now still saying too much. Oops.

          Tldr; you’re not wrong. My bad.
