    Heck no.

    The masses have noticed how hard they’ve been getting screwed.

    The rich know they’re absolutely stupid rich.

    And they’re scared.

    That’s all there is to it. Don’t attribute to them feelings of remorse or guilt. If there was any of that in them they’d cough up the dough for whatever, but no…they’re still doing the same thing they’ve always done just not as obviously public.

    We’re making noises about wealth taxes and all that and they’re thinking that if we see fewer Lamborghinis out there we’ll suddenly forget and leave them to their hoards.

      Scared of what? Getting cancelled on Twitter?

          You’re right, I bet they’re afraid of getting removed from twitter. /j

          (On .world I just see Removed, and I’m pretending that’s what you actually said.)

        They aren’t scared, they just don’t want to pay taxes so they can have moar.

        Spoiler alert: they will still have plenty more once we start taxing them.

        This article reads like some sort of weird prodding of rich egos to buy Bentleys, i guess.
