I'm not sure what part of my "technically are people" language (or comment elsewhere in this thread here) made you think I'm justifying it.
But that is the fiscal conservative argument whether either of us thinks it is a good one or not, and thus a broad "it hurts people" needs greater specificity to scope it to main street concerns and not wall street concerns.
and there it is, the double down lol
Gross, dude. Listen to yourself.
The next time you get charged $200 for an early termination, I hope you think "I'm happy the shareholders didn't get hurt".
Fuck's sake.
That's... that's not what they're saying.
Any defense, devils advocate or otherwise, supporting early termination fees is disgusting and unacceptable. It's not really important how they spin it.
No, the point is hurting the aristocracy is good, and I like doing it. This is just intellectual honesty. Taking your opponent's chess pieces is an aggressive behavior, but it's still a good thing if you want to win.
This is some real 'paradox of tolerance' reasoning here. Clearly by 'will people be hurt,' they mean the average person, not the investor class.
Yeah, the "average person" has greater specificity.
Seriously. Circular during squad moment.
