"Successful" selfish people benefit who? How?

I mean, it would be nice if lots of mom and pop businesses could successfully pop up to take over when the big chains fold, right?

So disrespectful. So entitled. So clueless.

"But I still don't understand why you can't just tell me what a good mom or dad I am like my needy inner child who didn't get loved enough still wants you and everyone else to do."
"But I don't understand why you're so mad about a little bit of selfish behavior."
Maybe it's because children will literally go hungry on account of selfish behavior, and people will literally suffer and die. Maybe that's why!
People who are sick deserve prayers.
Special prayers for the people who got more greedy, selfish, racist and sexist as time went on, and the more stuff that they accumulated did not heal them.
Oh no! Why did some adults decide that starving children is the right thing to do now?
"For decades, Republican and Democratic administrations alike expanded school lunch programs, operating under the shared understanding that no child should go hungry at school in the richest country in the world."

"When I stand in a room of bright and curious children, it breaks my heart that some of them are going without the food they need to learn and thrive—not because America can’t afford to feed them, but because adults in Washington decided they’d rather spend the money on tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy."
~ Becky Pringle
Selfishness! To the point of mental illness.
To be so impulsive about wasting money and resources is an illness.

It feels like he would also lose a lot of money at gambling if he were born to different circumstances.

Greed is not God. Greed is not good for people.
"He validated their rage and focused blame on a scapegoat. He pledged to make the nation whole again, to return it to its rightful glory."

So grateful that the toxic positivity co-workers aren't running things, though.

I think he really hates America, honestly. He's a very, very unwell person.
"The Yale Budget Lab estimates that the price increases caused by Trump’s tariffs will cost the typical US household $2,400 in 2025. As a result of the tariffs, the budget lab says, apparel prices will soar 37% and shoe prices 39%. What Trump boasts as a win is a loss for millions of typical Americans."

Can't say your house or your jeans are to blame for that callous attitude. Which adults taught you to do that when you were little?
"As I was trained to be a very myopic, self-absorbed person, helping the greedy patriarchy cause even more harm to certain kinds of women and girls and boys and men really just came naturally to me."
He must be joking, right?
This guy catered his dating profile to attract a blond-haired, blue-eyed "female reproductive unit."

Clearly, blond-haired, blue-eyed people deserve better.
How's your emotionally immature mom going to get her blueberries if they keep doing s*** like this?
"ICE arrests Woodburn farmworkers en route to Oregon blueberry farm"
I think fewer emotionally immature dads could have voted for this guy.
"Trump demands homeless people 'immediately' move out of Washington D.C."
When do you want to start acting like that?
"Since you're such a great dad, I'm sure you don't want other human beings' children to be, like, trained to be your slaves or anything, just so you can live a more comfortable life, and fit in better with the prejudiced, sexist, racist people."
Heartening, even.
"It's quite nice to think of how some people's great-grandchildren will be way less prejudiced than you."
Maybe this could also work on repelling some prejudiced, sexist women?
"Repelling men with the power of makeup #makeup"
@GlennDeVar
Yeah, right!
"I'm sure it will be totally fine to just go along with whatever the people who appear to have no great talents for self-reflection are doing."
The phrase "Stop the insanity" comes to mind.
It's also pretty sad to notice that even though some still like to act like they are "better than" others for biological reasons, because apparently that's what they were taught to do, a lot of emotionally immature parents do not like to talk about how quick they have been to needlessly expose others to unnecessary dangers on account of their own egotism and prejudiced attitudes.
It may seem like it's pretty harsh to point out how mean this is to others, including children, but constantly discriminating against other people for no good reason except that you were trained to do so and didn't want to stop to question why, or how such an attitude could harm people, is really not a good thing to keep on doing. And doing so continues to harm others, including children.
Sigh!
Remember to find the healing that's out there, cuz it's really out there.
It's another great day to heal from the awful effects of some people's rotten, sexist, selfish attitudes. They were passed down from the fearful ones who kept making the world way more imbalanced and unsafe than it actually needed to be. The bad judgments that were so harmful cannot imprint us forever.
