I'd tell you what I really think, but Mom would wash my mouth with soap.

They should really make themselves more visible, so we can all see their faces and know who to target when the guillotines go up.

It's spelled ego.

wokeazzdeadhead.bsky.social•161 days ago

Why do you admire untreated mental illness. They are weak shallow people who need the protection of electronic blips of money hoarding them ,never needing or being able to use that money never shoring up building or sating their their weak small egos I admire people having strength to seek help !

This is entirely possible. Which is nuts. You win capitalism and yet you want more? Or others to have less? Why? Revenge for a slight you never worked out with your therapist? C'mon

bradinmotion.bsky.social•162 days ago

This is true, they want their egos stroked and most people could give a rats ass

I’m going to miss Krugman so much. The man can write! And the patience to remind folks over and over again about what is happening and what will be. Now where to go?! Ugh!

Maybe they just don't want to get Luigi'd.

Welcome to the world. Population 8 billion. Nobody cares. Work hard. Love your family. Find some friends. Move along.

They're about to find themselves vilified and hated by millions who won't let them rest, eat, drink, work, travel, breathe, or use the bathroom in peace.

Narcissistic assholes: never enough attention and power for these STUPID MEN.

🤦

Have they tried doing something besides hoarding money? Might help.

imchuckmiller.bsky.social•162 days ago

Ya, I’d prefer to go back to the ones that lurked in the shadows. They at least seemed secure.

lesliehilton0131.bsky.social•162 days ago

Too bad..

smb6789.bsky.social•162 days ago

That and they have an insatiable need to be even richer

It's all a grift

dropdea.bsky.social•162 days ago

Fuck them?

spqesq.bsky.social•162 days ago

Luigi was right.

I didn't read the article because of the pay wall so I'll have to go by the headline:
Big egos can be very fragile.

It is somewhat perplexing why billionaires care so much what others think of them. I thought one of the greatest benefits of being a billionaire is NGAF.
