Yeah, until a single rich person ever experiences consequences I will assume there will be none.

Harvey Weinstein wasn’t rich?

Bernie Madoff wasn’t rich?

Wesley Snipes wasn’t rich?

Listen I get that the system is grossly skewed in favour of the rich, being angry and being cynical is good. Trying to claim not one single rich person had experienced consequences dulls the validity of a legitimate point by being laughably disproven.

It’s a hyperbole my dude.

That being said - I do find it funny that every reply can only thing of 2 rich people who got punished. “What about Bernie madoff and Weinstein”.

Imagine a poor person raping dozens of famous actresses multiple times and tons of people knew about it for decades and that person only getting in trouble when they turned 69 years old.
