I laughed. Then I cried.
- I cried so hard I laughed
- I cried, then a Trump supporter laughed at me before getting whipped by Elon Musk for laughing on the job

- Guest 8647 wants to get off Mr. Trump's Wild Ride

History of the world, tbh. First it was hundredaires, then thousandaires, then millionaires, now billionaires. Eventually it will be trillionaires, and so on.
- I mean, you're not wrong, but it's worth remembering that the scale of the difference has never been so radical. The wealth gap is wider than it has ever been.
  
  Is it, though? Is it wider than a king's wealth versus a serf's? The scale is different I agree, but is the proportion, really?
- Well, no, feudalism was actually fundamentally different. Power didn't come from money, it came from land and alliances and shit.
