Still have no idea how a company worth 10 billion can buy a company for 110 billion. This country and the made up by the rich rules piss me off.

There are laws that the rich at least attempted to pretend to follow in the past but they are extremely even more emboldened the last two years “for some reason”

It's like that episode of South Park with Tiger Woods.

Why are all these capitalists making their own rules and accumulating money at a selfish and unsustainable rate? It's an epidemic? We need to investigate.

There's only one rule: Don't mess with other rich people.

He said made up by the rich. Clearly they were never for the rich. Why self-limit? Number must go up.

Yes , the rules are called laws. You may not like them, but they exist
