The true wealthy live by an entirely different set of rules than the rest of us, especially when they are willing to prostrate themselves to the US President.
This has always been true to some degree, but is both more true than ever (there used to be some limits based on accepted decorum) plus they just dont even try to hide it anymore.
I think the not hiding it part is what’s starting to stick in my craw. We all knew it was happening on some level, but we felt that there were at least some boundaries somewhere out there even if they were further than ours. Now it just feels like the federal government basically doesn’t exist and companies can do whatever they want to us.
