      Yet you wouldn’t say the same thing if one of your kids gets into sports and gets paid the big bucks🤑. Marxists drive me nuts sometimes

          What ethics exactly are we talking about. I never made any mention of ethics or greed, and neither does the comment i responded to.

          The commenter i responded to had a problem with people making money from playing a sport even though they didn’t sleight anyone to make it. In fact, It’s common folk like us who willingly give them our money by way of tickets and TV subscriptions. I hate it when communists badmouth capitalism while actively contributing to it.

            Ok, so your issue is with the perceived hypocrisy of someone disliking the system they’re part of.

            Do you also get mad when prisoners hate prison? They’re participating in it. Without their crimes it wouldn’t function.

        You have no idea what our financial situations are. Whatever you think that we wouldn’t do, remember that there’s a lot of us out here.

        It takes a particularly narcissistic individual to believe that whatever selfish action they would take is definitely the same action that everyone else in the world would take.
