American media are worse than even Pravda or Tass News service. Anything that improves ordinary people’s lives, they are against. And the media being the mouthpiece of the elite, the elitists want us to live in sub-standard conditions ! The elite feel that only THEY can live the good life but no one else can !
Hot air will float more e-cats than hot water.
“The elite feel that only THEY can live the good life but no one else can !”
Back when people took the concept of personal private moral failing seriously, the concept of schadenfruede and taking a malicious satisfaction in the postion you held above others, was recognized as a “sin”. I think the catholic church even had a latin name for it.
But, hunman nature being what it is, even the most humble and lowly tend to gloat a little and want to retain their position of superiority over their fellows who are even lower in the pecking order.
