I’m truly sorry. That’s sad.
Its everyone, so
It’s not everyone. In fact it’s a small minority. Most people prefer to play within the rules. Golf or with life. It’s a part of being a member of a community that goes way back to our early hunter-gatherer days. It’s amplified if you’re playing for significant money. Aside from the desire to be invited back or to not being a non-contributing member of a group (or society) the consequences increase as well.

Well I don't know anyone that when money is being stolen from you doesn't want to give up the least they can. I will tell you one thing when I finally pull out my crypto money and retire I am not claiming any of it. Its my money you figure it out and come after me. I don't have that many years left so I just don't care, they have stole from me my entire life. Its my money not your or theirs

Right…so you’d prefer not to be a contributing member of the same society that enabled your considerable wealth.

You’d prefer a free lunch.

Got it.

I don't find your moralizing threatening, I find it absurd, but spot on for someone who views everything through a virtual ethics framework...but yet won't hold their own beliefs to account.

No…you clearly feel threatened. You’ve mentioned it often enough.

I view things through my own way of being first and foremost. The morals you question are cultural/community driven - respect for elders, racial equality, gender equality, cooperation, honesty.

I’m sorry you find these upsetting and that your god-king violates them constantly.

It must be tough.

1). It’s not my party.

2). Almost all politicians lie. Regardless of party.

3). A MAGA supporter talking about another party being dishonest and off the rails is… :rofl:

It's very accurate, even the company is trying to push it off on a different part of the business. Individuals are being named here. I can tell you more in a month. I don't care when the money was given to these rich guys, it's corrupt.

It’s not remotely accurate and the MuskTrump allegations have been widely scrutinized. It’s Elon’s Fragile ego taking a hit. Nothing more.

Who is "telling the truth in black and white"? If you trust eloon and trump to tell the truth then I have an oceanfront condo in eastern Montana to sell you. They're famous for telling "just enough to push their agenda" but they're less successful at staying on the legal side of not getting sued,

And if it is as you say, the agreement was reached when trump was POTUS so he is responsible for this particular corruption.
