$800… for an emotional support toy?

Is this why there’s so much poverty in the world? Because once people have enough excess wealth, this is what they choose to spend it on instead of helping those who need it more?

I’m with you…except I choose to believe there’s a reason they’re going bust (because no, folks aren’t choosing to spend on this)

That said, I’d like to remind everyone that Elon Musk has the money and power to end homeless and poverty in the US and chooses not to.

No, it’s because of billionaires that hoard more money than 1000 people could reasonably spend in a lifetime.
