Imagine you have a dog. He is a very bad dog. He jumps on people, he growls at toddlers, he bites other dogs. If you leave him home alone, he wrecks your house. Heโs just a dog, you have all the power, but your entire life is now bending around his behavior problems.

@Arkypatriot Fashion industry presents itself as woke and green, yet wastes an excessive amount of material on stupid and impractical garments like this.
โHe has always believed in a wealth redistributionโ? ๐
Your dad is free to redistribute his own money.
We do not need to participate in โwealth redistributionโ when it consists of an $800,000 app that turns into a $60 million fiasco.
But how noble of you to dictate to others how the government gets to steal and squander their money. Lol
