    I’m saying when you have 9+ figures in the bank, you have no idea what a real problem is until you get so old that modern medicine can’t treat you anymore.

      Money doesn’t solve everything. The probably have way more issues with stalkers and death threats than any of us do, for example. Even with hired security that can’t feel very good.

        If you can solve it with money you already have, it’s not a real problem. If you can hide from it in a mansion, it’s not a real problem.

          I can’t figure out why this is so hard to comprehend. The rich have so many alternatives that the poor don’t to any given problem, and its still so common to find the middle class rise to take up pitchforks for the richest segments.

      Not true at all. Take a look at Elon musk for example. Just because he has money doesn’t stop him from being sued or keeps the government out of his ass. He gets all this negativity from the media and other things and you act like he doesn’t exist because he has lots of money. And I’m not saying he doesn’t deserve it, but you are still insulting a real person, no matter how much money he has. The human brain finds ways to make small things seem big. We all need problems to thrive or else life would be lifeless and boring. If you’ve ever watched the show The Good Place, you might remember the scene where everybody is so happy for so many years that they basically became boring slugs that don’t do anything and have no emotion. To say that the rich are exempt from this is bs. They are humans like everyone else and all humans have these problems.

        Rich people pay for our lives to be shittier through lobbying self interests. They don’t care about you. Why do you care about them?

          I don’t care about them. I’m just saying that the argument that they don’t have problems is completely invalid.
