It’s a spectrum of intensity like sweet or sour

Except instead you sort the states by gun homicides and domestic violence rates

Sure, why not? Unless they’re actively unbecoming a billionaire by giving a lot of that away what should make them so special?

If you’re hung up on the basic assumptions necessary to make the thought experiment work as clearly intended then you won’t get it neither

I’ll be honest, a lot of those are pretty stupid

Uhm, those are $1600 Gucci Seats de la Foulde 💅

Only if you thought the science that agreed with you was gospel in the first place

Ah sorry I thought we were talking about invasions since the image is about Ukraine receiving support because they were invaded
