  • The obfuscation is on purpose. The media (which, I must remind you, is all completely owned by the billionaire class) is afraid that in telling you who and what Blackstone is, there will be cheering for the death of this person instead of remorse. This is due to the whiplash they experienced in reporting on the death of that healthcare CEO back in December.

    Expect more of the same kind of reporting going forward if/when a capitalist dies from misfortune.




  • “I suffered therefore you must suffer too even if it doesn’t have to be that way”

    I see this sentiment a lot whenever the subject of increasing the minimum wage comes up. A lot of people think it’s unfair that a teenager should be making $15 $20 an hour when they only made $5 $8 when they were a teen. And they are currently only making around $20 an hour themselves. I have literally seen this exact statement on discussions of increasing the minimum wage:

    “No teenager should be making close to the same amount that I am. They don’t need that kind of money.”

    You are 100% correct that it’s selfishness and I would add that it’s also a complete lack of empathy as well.
