I side-eye a lot of self-righteous mentions of Boomer wealth, because once someone suggests that wealth isn't evenly distributed and "senior" isn't a synonym for rich, the conversation ends up here. I'm not interested in doing the just world fallacy for poverty.
Post from WildlifeGardener: Ridiculous. Some of the wealthiest people I know are blue collar workers who prioritized saving. If people choose to sqander income, breed beyond their means and ignore risk management, they can live with the consequences. Get a roommate; don't cry to me. I was frugal & reaping the rewards. 

Post from Franki Butler: Ah, you should have just said you were a libertarian at the start and I would have known not to waste my time.

Post from WildlifeGardener : Well, we know what you are. You'd rather whone and pick others' pockets than work for the lifestyle you desire.

Post from WildlifeGardener: And tough shit. Job loss, illness, disability, death, economic downturn, etc happen in most lifetimes. They aren't rare, and can be planned and prepared for.

That's what I meant by "risk management." Fools' failure to prioritize health, life, disability & prop insurance ain't my problem.

"It's always sort of been something that you could attribute to a ‘moral failing’ of the victim—unfairly, obviously. But you know, with deepfakes, I really have to wonder if the reason people think this is new is because you can't blame somebody for their own suffering,” Woelfel said. “I have to wonder if the reason why it feels new, and why people feel so bewildered by it is because it can happen to literally anybody: young, old, high-profile figure or not. You can't blame somebody for it anymore, and you never should have in the first place.”
