minus-squareStevelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·7 months agoBecause their money already fixed all the kinds of problems you have. They have new problems now. They’re also exaggerating those problems.
minus-squareAskewLord@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·7 months agoWeird, they tell me their biggest problem is they don’t have enough money. I don’t have that problem!
