Do we have to make the average middle-aged man into a buffoon to make up for our discomfort that a handful of older men have the unfair ability to boss us around? (e.g. Jeff Epstein, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk?)

(The reality that a group of less than 0.01% of the has so much power over the rest of us causes us to blame "the 1% percent" or "top 10%" or "the patriarchy", etc.)

Interacting with my kids is a good opportunity to lighten up and be silly.

I certainly can't wear my bosses pants on my head.

I think we mostly do that to ourselves.

I think I speak for a large majority of people here when I say:

What?

"unfair" ability? such victim mentality. lol, you're so entitled. and Musk was bossing you around before he whas middle-aged.
I dunno. 1000 years from now the last man will be breathing his last breath on Earth and will be thinking... We could have gotten to Mars, colonized Ceres, gotten to Alpha Centuri a long time ago, but Elon Musk just had to post that stupid tweet...
I'm really sorry to hear that a dead pedophile is bullying you. Is he haunting your dreams?
