    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.

    LMAO AS FUCKING IF. Rich people aren’t capable of feeling any sort of empathy-adjacent emotions. If you’re rich and think you can feel empathy there are two possible scenarios at play;
    a) You’re wrong about being rich
    b) You’re wrong about feeling empathy

        If you own a Bentley, you’re either very rich, or just spent all your money on a Bentley

        Edit: I’ve been told some people needed clarification that I’m not talking about Bentleys worth their weight in scrap metal.

          Wrong.

          You can buy Bentley’s for a couple of thousand and if you’re a car guy can maintain them pretty ok. I’ve got a friend with one and I can assure you he’s not in the slightest bit considered “rich”

            I would assume a Bentley for a couple thousand is not a new Bentley from the company and would not count towards VWs sales.

              What’s that got to do with the brash statement that I was replying to?

              If you own a Bentley, you’re either very rich, or just spent all your money on a Bentley

                Because they knew I was talking about new Bentleys, not 20 year old ones that are worth no more than their metal scraps worth.
