That’s great! The poors are running things like Lemmy which means they’re more susceptible to bribery. Only the rich can protect us from corruption!!1!! ONE!
Been a while since I saw the typed out “one” in the exclamation mark string.
It was a typo because I was so excited.
I get it sometimes you just slip on the keyboard, it happens!
You jest, but I have heard that argument a number of times in the defense of the rich, including one time from a fucking judge when he pardoned some company owner from bribery charges, “He has money, it does not make sense that he would ask for more money”. It’s also a common argument among judges and elected deputies to justify their sky high salaries. Yay, Brazil
Here in America that’s what they initially said about Trump in 2016. Anyhow now he’s got a jet from Qatar.
Oh I’m well aware. I’ve heard it so many times. I believe it when I was a kid but I laugh at it now.
