    Please don’t insult sex workers by comparing them with billionaires.

    If I pay a stripper she’ll give me a lap dance. The terms of the deal are straightforward. If I give a billionaire money they’ll just fuck me over and ask for more money.

      I think it is exactly the point, hence not being insulting about sex workers, but about mocking “clients”, red capped MAGA crowd here. I may be wrong, but at least it’s the way I read it.

      Clients may indeed think they are special, that this dance is dedicated to them not because they paid, but because they are special. When in fact, she’s doing it because the deal was about money, as a job.

      The dancer is not the point here, the dudes are, thinking they are treated in a individual and special manner. Isn’t it?

      I mean it’s a metaphor but still idk about that. Elon and Trump are both showmen more than anything. Trump has participated in wrestling shows, Musk jumped around on stage swinging a chainsaw the other day. I’m not convinced a little dance would be beneath them.

        Have you seen Musk balancing a fork and a spoon, mesmerizing! People around him were like at a “Musk Got Talent” show!

    Look at those brave philanthropists, giving their surplus money so that poor billionaire can afford nice things. 🥲
