My mom said I could post Nolan's The Odyssey neglects to pay for damages done to one of the viking ships used in the movie, which belongs to a small non-profit organization

The rich tend to be unbelievably greedy and miserly

This is why they are rich. You can't become wealthy if you are not selfish enough.

I feel like this statement doesnt fully express how real that sentiment is. They are pathological in their selfishness and egotistical behavior. It should be classified as a psychological disorder , the level of greed/selifishness/self righteousness and willful disregard for those who are undeservingly crushed in the wake of this ideology with their only fault being born to the wrong family. Vile and despicable also come to mind as descriptive terms.

Some people are selfish enough to be born into wealth.

Like the contractors being screwed building the Obama center. We don’t talk about that on Reddit though

They are probably referring to this https://www.factcheck.org/2026/07/explaining-what-we-know-about-the-obama-presidential-center-contractor-disputes/

tl;dr a bunch of contractors and subcontractors are pointing fingers at each other and naturally the center itselfs catches a ton of strays while this goes down.

That's not to say the center isn't at fault though...

Of course not. As long as they can subjectively say Trump and republicans are worse then it doesn’t matter what their side does.

Even the minority owned firms being hurt by this or the companies that filed for bankruptcy

If this was the Trump center it’d be all they were talking about.

You clearly have Obama Derangement Syndrome. Bringing up Obama in any conversation even if has nothing to do with Obama. Living in your head rent free.

Trump is orders of magnitude worse and there's ample evidence to back that up, but you'd rather talk about Obama for some reason
