Nobody has cut their taxes in about 4 years they must be feeling really poor.
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/
😢 do you know what it’s like to not be able to drive my half a million dollar car to a movie premier that I invested in accidentally through an AI hedge fund that I own with some other rich people that I met at a party a few years ago?
A Rolls will be my “I made it” car. Now to start playing the lotto.
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 empathyHow rich? How should the empathy be shown? Is it a sliding scale where the lines meet in the middle somewhere?
Good question. I haven’t got an answer for that. We could start off by pruning off the top; anyone with a net worth above a billion can’t possibly have earned that kind of money. 900 million is just as unlikely.
A modicum of luck obviously plays a part as well; Facebook for example started off as a fairly innocuous website for ranking the attractiveness of university students; poor in taste and judgement but hardly evil. That’s not exactly where we are today, is it? Have you read about how facebook treats its content moderation team? Ol’ Zucky is responsible for that and so much more.
There’s only so much you can earn through hard work and good luck before you’ll start having to make unethical and evil choices to keep raking in the cash. Rich people don’t need or deserve any empathy, because they won’t have any for you.
If you own a Bentley, you’re either very rich, or just spent all your money on a Bentley
Edit: I’ve been told some people needed clarification that I’m not talking about Bentleys worth their weight in scrap metal.
That’s some dehumanizing rhetoric you got going there bro. Poor are just as unempathetic, middle class the same. It’s not a money problem it’s a human problem.
The statistical data disagrees with your anecdotal evidence.
Actually the poor tend to give a higher portion if their total wealth to charity than the rich.
Charity = | = to empathy. I live in an area where I can go 15 min either direction and meet up with poorer families. The hatred they spew for certain groups of people is mind boggling
There’s no emotional sensitivity, they’re just afraid of the guillotine.
I feel like rich people are more brazen than ever before. It’s a long time before we see any guillotines for the rich in my country at least (the US). We regularly put people down who have pennies to their name though or just average Joes living their lives. Death by cop and death by violence in a broken penal system. Also completely unavoidable health issues that increasingly only the wealthy end can afford to rectify.
Yeah it is a different country for the wealthy here in the US. Pretty sure that is everywhere though.
is this someone’s pathetic attempt to make the ultra rich more likable?
Only by abolishing poverty can Bentley sales go up. Bentley shareholders 🤝 the working class, allies in the fight against capitalism.
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.
Scared of what? Getting cancelled on Twitter?
They’re suffering from affluenza…
How sad…
Recession hitting the rich
Its guilt. Just say guilt.
ITT poor people wonder about rich people wondering about poor people wondering about them

Asl?
22/m/Toledo
19/f/Cali was the answer we were looking for
Ahhh better luck next time i guess
Also, they’re shit cars.
I’m sure it has nothing to do with Bentleys getting uglier while other luxury cars are getting cooler looking.
I don’t think there has been a decent looking Bentley in my lifetime.
What a nice gesture by them!
