      But they’re gambling their livelihoods on the fact that enough people like you will. Their action is contingent upon their beliefs about the future. Your future.

        exactly. they’re gambling. I’m not responsible for their decision. there is no conspiracy, as in the case of assassination for hire.

          They hire smart people to run the risk reward analysis. If you reduce the payout, they’ll place smaller bets.

              “boo hoo, I’m one person in a population of billions and I don’t feel like I matter” grow the fuck up. Stop expecting to be special.

                  Yeah, there’s too many immature people who won’t work as part of a team, and instead will only help if their personal actions have huge solo effects. If you people would grow up and help out, we could actually get stuff done, but instead you just complain and seek comfort
