It'll come back. I don't see rich people crying about it. Because they know they aren't losing it all and that they'll profit from all buying they are doing while everything is cheap

all the rich people got together to pass a bill two days ago so that the president couldn't singlehandedly crash the economy like this again.

they seem pretty up in arms.

I thought Lemmy was anti-rich people? Aren't you happy rich people are scared of losing their money? Are you happy that a bunch of rich guys got together to make it even harder to take away their wealth? That seems at odds with what I usually see here

"I thought Lemmy was anti-rich people?"

I'll take that into account.

"Aren't you happy rich people are scared of losing their money?"

I'm interested in policy and uninterested in rich people feelings.

I appreciate your newfound agreement that rich people seem scared, but their fear doesn't emotionally affect me one way or another in and of itself.

"Are you happy that a bunch of rich guys...their wealth?"

I'll refer you to my earlier answer.

"That seems at odds with what I usually see here"

drawing a specific conclusion based on generalizations and assumptions will have you seeing lots of strange things.

love your domes, btw.
