    Who could have known that a person born into a rich and powerful family couldn’t handle a 9-5 job? It’s almost like the stories you hear from every rich person about working from sun up to sunset is a lie told to placate the working poor…

      My MAGA brother-in-law once told me that he could be as rich as Trump if he wanted, but he just didn’t want to put in the same hours and effort that Trump does.

      LOL, I remember seeing girlfriends of various company founders I’ve been at who would come in to “work” a few hours per day, usually in a role like “office manager”. Many of them came from backgrounds of privilege and of course had no relevant experience or qualifications.

      Not one of them had any really important responsibilities, barely worked more than half hour a day, and yet would go on and on about how “hard” they worked, LOL.

      Almost without fail. I still remember how one of them had a holy meltdown on the job all because of how the flower arranger that came in to set up flowers had supposedly “failed” to live up to their expectations for the office flowers.

      To add extra insult of hearing how “hard” they worked, they were also instructed to act as spies and try to rat out any dissent or anyone that was being lazy or not doing what these ignorant dumbfucks thought people should be doing.

      I can see exactly how this would scale up to the level of country-level dumbassery in the case of someone like Brainworm.
