Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.
Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
Please do not disparage those of us with obesity by comparing us to these fucks
As a medically morbidly obese guy, I have absolutely zero issues with invoking obesity as an apt technical description of the unhealthy and damaging consequences resultant of the tolerance of their existence.
Those who qualify to be diagnosed as medically obese typically don’t have a readily available remedy for their condition, but the financially obese can legitimately be held solely responsible for their rehabilitation.
Okay, you don’t speak for all of us. People like me really don’t like it, and think it contributes harm.
My original post never even referred to you, unless you’re also morbidly wealthy.
Manufacturing imaginary attacks similarly manifests harms to legitimate discourse.
