Incidentally, I have a small, family owned, multi-billion dollar energy firm. I'm just trying to protect the little folk who work for me, those bastards, all the way down on the lower rung...

I'm such a philanthropist.

I normally like your takes, but this one doesn't really garner conversation the way your other posts do. It's a bit slapstick, IMO.

It's a bit of catharsis tbh. You just get so sick of the same talking points, retorts and clapback, that your brain instantly refers to a conversational index about it, and then your soul dies. That's pretty much what you read.

But thanks for enjoying at least some of my catharsis ^^ Cheers!
