Epstein class when they're raking it in:

"This is amazing".

Epstein class when you try and take a small portion of their wealth away:

"This is terrible and I hate it."

(PS. I hate Trump but this is essentially what's happening here)

    I'm not sure how higher tech prices for you and I are a good thing, but sure. Because that's what is going to happen here, it's simply expanding tariffs on more items.

    Where did they suggest that they thought that it was a good thing? Mind the quotation marks

    higher tech prices for you and I

    Not for me. You know some of us don't live in US, right?

    And I wasn't passing comment on whether or not it was a good thing. I merely pointed out that the reason the tech bros were upset was the fact they were being taxed.
