If there’s anything the new millennium has taught me, it’s that rich people are only successful because they already had money or because they’re ruthless, cruel, assholes.
Twenty-three years on, it’s totally clear that rich people are no smarter than poor people and all the people arguing that poor people have a “future planning deficit” because they have so much more they have to think about are actually proving poor people are probably smarter than the rich, ACKSHUALLY.
Because if poor people can figure out these rich jerks are making piss poor decisions that have no long-term planning involved, while they don’t have the same crushing weight of poverty hanging over them, it must mean they’re the dumbest of dumb fucks.
Climate change is the proof in the pudding that the rich have just as bad (if not worse) long-term planning skills than the poor. They’re willing to throw away the future of the entire fucking planet for MOAR PROFIT NAOW.

This is legit something I try to explain all the time to people. The answer ultimately is as simple as “life is not fair”.
This is also the same logic as to why I automatically dislike people who happen to just fanboy for famous people in general. That basketball player you idolized might not have the slightest clue about economics… So looking to them for economic-based political views doesn’t really make sense.
