Bentley CEO says sales are down because the rich are experiencing ‘emotional sensitivity’ due to the cost of living and don’t want to flaunt their wealth with a new luxury car

LMAO AS FUCKING IF. Rich people aren't capable of feeling any sort of empathy-adjacent emotions. If you're rich and think you can feel empathy there are two possible scenarios at play;
a) You're wrong about being rich
b) You're wrong about feeling empathy

Which is a cool story…. But Rolls Royce are selling like hot cakes https://uk.motor1.com/news/703769/rolls-royce-2023-record-sales-figures/

There’s no emotional sensitivity, they’re just afraid of the guillotine.

"emotional sensitivity" is a funny way to to misspell: fear of guillotine

Is this The Onion?

Nobody has cut their taxes in about 4 years they must be feeling really poor.

Heck no.

The masses have noticed how hard they’ve been getting screwed.

The rich know they’re absolutely stupid rich.

And they’re scared.

That’s all there is to it. Don’t attribute to them feelings of remorse or guilt. If there was any of that in them they’d cough up the dough for whatever, but no…they’re still doing the same thing they’ve always done just not as obviously public.

We’re making noises about wealth taxes and all that and they’re thinking that if we see fewer Lamborghinis out there we’ll suddenly forget and leave them to their hoards.

Only by abolishing poverty can Bentley sales go up. Bentley shareholders 🤝 the working class, allies in the fight against capitalism.

is this someone's pathetic attempt to make the ultra rich more likable?

Emotional Sensitivity: "Yes, we're emotionally sensitive to the fact that the poors want to cut our heads off and watch them roll. We need to hide our wealth so they're less likely to strike out at us."

Fixed that for you.

Who'd have thought that it would be awkward splashing out crazy amounts of money on making yourself a little comfier when the world is on fire. A bit of privilege guilt isn't exactly a bad thing.

Its guilt. Just say guilt.

That’s the dumbest fucking take I’ve ever heard- is this guy functionally retarded or did he piss himself laughing after giving that brain dead comment?

I’m sure it has nothing to do with Bentleys getting uglier while other luxury cars are getting cooler looking.

They’re suffering from affluenza…

How sad…

Also, they're shit cars.

It's more likely that the rich already have all the luxury cars they want, and are looking for other ways to flaunt their wealth.

I've never known a rich person to be so self-conscious as to experience this kind of 'emotional sensitivity'.

What a nice gesture by them!

Thoughts and Prayers to all those suffering wealthy people

So they're just hoarding more money then...

Recession hitting the rich

This take is two things, bull and shit.

Meanwhile other brands like Tesla are selling like hotcakes. Maybe Bentley should make better cars.

Just homebrew something if you're that worried about it, worst case you have a nice new car, best case, you have a legitimate competitor if you can find the capital, which you most likely can because you're a rich fuckass.

Pretty sure just having a not I-Pad dash alone would get your brand selling like hotcakes.
