    I mean actually. But sometimes hearing westoid cope is also fun, cause they’d come to the same questions if they just thought for a minute.

    In capitalism, a scam is when a poor person does it.

    That’s the weird thing about the Madoff example. He wasn’t poor, and was very well respected on Wall Street.

      It’s always the same mechanic. If a rich person gets persecuted, it is because the system needs to appear legit. Or they are trying to suppress something else. Today I learned the term “boomer truth regime” which I will be trying to further research since it sounds pretty much like the issue a lot of us are facing atm.
