Who would've thought post-hand-wringing-over-poor-300k-salary-tech-workers realizing their disposability that we would have another event reminding HN just how different the rules are for capital owners than the rest of us.

Why is that tech workers, many of whom easily have earned over a million dollars in salary over the past few years can't be told to "live within their means"?

Why is it that the same VCs that rallied against student debt relief think their poorly run bank should be bailed out?

I know why, this thread is chalk full of it. "We were smart, we were playing the game with the advantage we were told made us untouchable, we can't fathom gasp 'negative consequences' whatever those are".

I'm sick of it and thankful to see people seeing through this a bit more than usual. Downvoting isnt going to change a damn thing, click your hearts out and enjoy the dissonance. See ya in the next too-big-to-fail-as-a-result-of-unchecked-corporate-greed thread. lmao
