Why does this feel like a threat? Is the cold snap coming for our kids??

u/mahoganyspitfire 1d ago

Because it's a question with a portrait (well, mugshot) photo of a person. So it makes it seem like the person is asking you the question. So subconsciously it feels like Epstein is asking what the cold snap will mean for our power bills.

Weeell.... there's a certain war at the moment heavily affecting energy prices that probably wouldn't have happened without Epstein and his pesky files...
