    Because the secret truth of the world is: rich people are the dumbest motherfuckers on this planet because they’ve been challenged the least, yet moronic humans CONSTANTLY assume they must be rich because they “earned it”.

    The problem is with human stupidity.

      I don’t know that ‘stupid’ is the right word. I think it’s arrogance and ignorance that no one could possibly cheat them because they’re rich and powerful. They might be smart in other ways, but their narcissism makes them make stupid choices.

        Yea that’s fair. I do tend to use generic terms like “stupid” when a decision is so asinine as to be a stupid decision regardless of motivation … but intent always matters.
