So you ENVY Musk's wealth and Trump's wealth?

You claim Musk and Trump make so much more money than you do, and you ENVY them?

The greatest economist of all time had a brilliant response to such childish ENVY.

What those people who ask for equality have in mind is always an increase in their own power to consume. In endorsing the principle of equality as a political postulate nobody wants to share his own income with those who have less. When the American wage earner refers to equality, he means that the dividends of the stockholders should be given to him. He does not suggest a curtailment of his own for the benefit of those 95 per cent of the earth’s population whose income is lower than his.



Just remember, the American HOMELESS are all a bunch of Elon Musks, compared to the average China resident, or the average India resident.

The Yemen civil war was a shooting war.

And there were plenty more shooting wars and conficts, mostly in Africa and the middle east. I'll just give you one more; the one where Tяump pulled out US troops that were protecting our Kurdish allies from Turkey. But Tяump was worried about his personal investment in Tяump Towers Istanbul, so he pulled the US troops and sacrificed our allies.

The Syrian civil war was a shooting war.
Chaos in Northern Syria

The civil war entered a new stage in October 2019 after U.S. President Donald J. Trump removed the roughly one thousand U.S. troops supporting Kurdish fighters on the Syria-Turkey border. The surprise move cleared the way for Turkey’s Erdogan to launch a military operation there. Aiming to push Kurdish forces back to establish a twenty-mile-deep buffer zone for returned refugees, Turkish troops and their Syrian rebel allies seized towns and villages, causing hundreds of thousands of people to flee. The SDF turned to the Syrian government for help, allowing regime soldiers to reenter areas that had been held by the Kurds for years. Russian troops also entered the region to support the Syrian government.
