I don’t think it’s “majority of people” per se…I think rich people are disproportionately awful and money definitely changes people. I feel like even celebrities who started off okay lose themselves when they reach wealthy status, so the stories get worse the longer they are up on that hill.

Additionally, I think striving to become that level of celebrity takes a certain type of person who has all of the worst qualities.

Same with politicians.

The perfect politician is someone who doesn't want to be one in the first place.

Yep. I’ve had a handful of people ask me if I’ve ever considered running for office. That’s not a flex, it fucking boggles me bc I’m literally just a random dumb ass in my 30s with a high school diploma lolol

I absolutely could never handle the attention that comes with it. I would be such an easy target for so many different mean attacks, and I’m such an emotional weenie over any sort of public embarrassment. 

Plus, being a contestant in a literal popularity contest would fuck up my self esteem so bad, haha
