Whenever the rich make mistakes, take risks, or play the system, someone else pays the price. And who is that someone? Always the poor. They lose their jobs when companies crash, they lose their homes when markets collapse, they lose their savings when banks fail. The wealthy? They have insurance, bailouts, tax loopholes, and lawyers ready to protect them. They can gamble with billions, make catastrophic errors, and walk away almost untouched, while ordinary people get crushed under the weight of those failures.
The system is designed so that risk is asymmetric: the rich can experiment, fail, and still profit, while the poor can barely survive a single setback. Every crash, every bailout, every loophole is a reminder that the poor carry both their own struggles and the consequences of the mistakes of those who have everything.

Why don’t presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?
weak take
Think about RFK jr plot to “make America healthy again”. It’s about controlling poor people. It was never about making our food healthier!!
Nope, not because of the rich, that happens because of government policies. Did Bezos forced lockdowns to boost his business? No, but the rich will take advantage of crappy government policies. You should wonder why the government doesn’t give the same opportunities to everyone? The financial system is so corrupt and it is controlled by government policy.
Why the government has to bail out banks who gamble in the stock market or give out loans without collateral? I can take a loan and route it to other entities as business investment and shortly after declare bankruptcy. Then the public pays the price. Politicians and banks are not held accountable. If a bank gives out loans without ensuring collateral resources the government should never cover. If politicians want to have such policies in place they should pay themselves when something goes wrong. That alone will fix a big part of the financial problem. Otherwise the economy will keep tanking.
I always hear that rich people take a big risk when they own a business. But from my long experience working for rich people that own businesses. It is always the working people that get fucked when things go bad, not the rich people.
