Some rich do, some rich dont, just as some poor and middle class use it to theri own advantage and some dont.
Humans are shitty, you will find shitty humans in every class and every denomination. But to say the rich are somehow uniquely responsible for such things is absurd given the overwhelming evidence of people from every class acting just as deplorable.
But of course the poor and middle class wont take that responsibility, they would rather just blame the rich. Same story as forever, the majority will always demonize the minority.
@sadladpress At least it's just your instance that's broke and not your entire internet!
@stux ABSOLUTELY
@stux FUCK YEAH MR. ROBOT IS A MASTERPIECE
I have to agree with you there. When I hear people blame the rich its usually just a desire to have some evil entity to blame rather than accepting the general public are accountable for their own decisions. Though the left-wing I feel uses it even more specifically as a way to rally against a non-existant enemy. a way for them to justify increasing taxes ever upwards towards absurdity rather than being accountable for their own financial waste which could easily be resolved if they were more responsible in their spending.
I'm not even talking about social programs. They could easily cut defense spending in half, give everyone including the rich a tax cut, and still have more than enough money to cover their social programs. But that would require them to actually admit that all rich people arent evil after all.

It annoys me when people blame calls for a return to normal on the rich because it's completely irrelevant. Rich people and big companies are not the only ones who want a return to normal! Small business owners want it even more than big business owners.
Do we see big businesses trying to open stores despite fascist dictates from governors? No, but we see small businesses doing that. Why?
It's simple: no one can survive starvation, but those who are rich can survive it longer, because they have more supplies.
I do realize that the politicians are trying to use this to force us into socialism and have us rely on them for income, I get it. But people are getting fed up. Sometimes, Trump Bux aren't enough to feed an entire family.
It's not going to be long until violence breaks out over this and both police officers and civilians die.
