First off, I cannot stand McCain. I have been reading about her far too long. I wish she would just go away. She is a whiny, talentless hack riding on her daddy’s coattails.
This from the article “I'm not laughing at you!' The View erupts over Meghan McCain's GameStop rant“ by Travis Gettys at Rawstory on 29 January 2021: “"Let me just jump in, why we should care," McCain said. "If the stock ends up plunging because of this, because of GameStop and Wall Street loses billions, at a certain point, it will impact stocks like Apple and Disney and stocks that a lot of average Americans do invest in, and if that happens, average Americans will end up losing even more money. Right now, we're already in one of the worst economic recessions in decades, and we can say we don't care, in one way or another, but at one point in time this will end up impacting average Americans and then it's going to reach all the way in factions of our culture and our society, so we should care a little bit. I know everyone's saying Reddit and these things don't matter, but they do matter to a lot of people."”
So, why discuss her now? I could have chosen any number of people, but I thought her quote was emblematic of the whole scenario. She is saying that if you do not let rich people win, then they will pass the suffering along the food chain, eventually hitting average U.S. citizens. In other words, your betters are better than you. it is incumbent upon you to let your betters be better than you. Rich people are meant to be rich, and poor people shoud be happy with scraps from their tables.
