    Like others have said, this is the wrong mentality. Instead of asking “why should they get it when I don’t?”, You should simply be asking “why don’t I get it?”

    Turning us against each other is how the ruling elite stay in power. 💪

      What’s he’s saying is those ruling class shouldn’t be getting it either because it’s a silly concept lol.

      Road crews don’t get paid from tolls. Power plants don’t get paid beaucoup. Etc. Etc.

      The root issue is the company profiting endlessly or simply not paying appropriate wages. IP law absolutely needs to change.

      Melancholy Elephants is a great Hugo Award winning short story about this train of thought.
