    Quote from: TDoS on Apr 13, 2025, 06:29 AMTell me, is gloating about the coming doom, a common thought thread around here when people discuss breaking out the popcorn to watch the hoped for destruction of livelihoods and economies and shattered human lives, any different than the part and parcel of this claimed Elon Musk insensitivity as well? 

    Significantly different.  We break out the popcorn when Eternal Justice is served.

    Define "eternal justice". Because that caveat isn't used when previewing doom and collapse for everyone, not just the rich folks you or K-Dog might despise. So single moms who lose their jobs, can't afford fuel for the family cage to get to work, that is justice served is it? Even high net worth individuals like K-Dog who appears to feel cramped over the cost of his coffee and breakfast on his way to work, you figure we should be yucking it up as he gets his dose of eternal justice?

    And high networth individuals like K-Dog? What is he guilty of that we get to cheer on his financial inconveniences? You figure a more crashing economy making his basic sustenance more expensive is something we should cheerlead? Because small increases in his costs will bug him more than a hospital CEO. You think his $20G heat pump costing him $40G instead is something we want to cheer on?
