You wrote wealthy people tell themselves that poor people are lazy.
replyYes, I did. There’s a word that was inserted into what I actually wrote.
replyBy that logic, it is then accurate to say poor people are lazy.
replySure. Knock yourself out. I won’t lose any sleep over it.
replyI like the transition from “I have an issue with what you said” to “I have an issue with what I imagine you said” after getting clarification
replyThat aside the statement was fine as written. For example it takes deliberate and active misunderstanding to twist the statement “people eat meat” into “there aren’t any vegetarians”
Just to clarify. What percentage of wealthy people do you believe think this?
replyIs 10% too high of an estimate for wealthy people that believe this? 50%? 75%? 90%?
Where would you throw the dart of your estimate and how wide do you think your error bounds are?
he wrote "many" wealthy people, not all.
replyTo be fair, I added that, after being called on it. It was a fair point, but I also didn't mean "all," so I just clarified the meaning.
