    This is the “ignore the problem I created and it’ll go away” stage of problem solving by a serial bankrupter.

          No, people are still dying and being disabled by it. In fact, maybe if the world feels shitty it is but also you might have brain damage from multiple infections.. Also from the last link, in case you needed convincing:

          It’s not known exactly how many people develop long COVID after an acute COVID-19 infection because estimates vary, but it ranges between 2 percent and 10 percent of the infected population.

          At least 65 million people worldwide have long COVID, including 10–20 percent of children with a history of COVID-19.

          The debilitating illness affects multiple organ systems and is associated with more than 200 symptoms, including fatigue, memory issues, sleep disorders, concentration impairment, dizziness, orthostatic intolerance, sensory overload, post-exertional malaise, headaches, anxiety, depression, and gastrointestinal issues.

          It often leads to potentially lifelong conditions such as dysautonomia, cardiovascular disease, myalgic encephalomyelitis/ chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), diabetes, and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS).

            Yes I’m aware. I said “kinda” in the sense that it’s no longer a pandemic and isn’t in the news every day.

    Donnie D’Felon just thinks he can wishcast his way out of his stupid fucking war. This idiot was born rich and thinks the “power of positive thinking” is what made him rich.

    It’ll work out because my impulsivity has never met any consequences and my delusion of self grandeur will warp my perception, whatever the out come might be, as a victory I can sell as evidence for admiration I desperately need to feel like a real human, for without it, the void which has taken over, will devour me.

      This is what happens when an adult has never had to work a day in his life and never faced any consequences for his disgusting attitudes and behaviors. No one around him is there to tell him he’s a fucking moron and would be a total nobody if it wasn’t for his Daddy’s money.

      He really thinks he has special genes and truly magical qualities. I so wish there were people in the room that would just start openly mocking him without any fear.

      Just openly laughing in his face at his grandiose claims of him being special or having special knowledge or ability in anything. Including, or maybe especially, things so near and dear to his heart like his supposed knowledge about construction or architecture or taste.

        Oh but he works incredibly hard: to maintain the illusion that makes him appear better than he is and he works hard to convince himself of it. Lack of work does not lead a person to become like him, rather the lack of validation of parents or guardian. I imagine that daddy business man only ever praised him for certain accomplishments if they aligned with the father’s own priorities and ignored his child otherwise in his needs. He evolved this way to optimise for the benefit of his relationship with his parents. It’s a tale as old as time of daddy issues.

        Breaking this illusion by the means of which you wrote, in what it is that makes him superior, will only lead to his suffering and will not bring about any constructive change but I understand that this is something you desire: his reign leaves us all feeling with a lack of justice and accountability.
