MUA reminding me that my bankers haven't replied in 5 days and asking me if I want to "follow-up".

I mean, sure their delayed (lack of) reply and incompetence ends up becoming my problem, but it's never my experience that those with money and power like being reminded of how they are failing their customers and constituents.

I forget who wrote something along the lines of those with money and power would need to lose so much to even begin to get a sense of what those who are disenfranchised feel all the time; but I kind of doubt things will ever get that bad for them.

Elon Musk lost something like $100 billion in his net worth in the last month or two. Do you think he's feeling any less comfortable? I don't.

I can't imagine ever having a billion to lose, let alone $100 billion.
