Biden has an eight-figure fortune.
He'll be fine.
You won't, because you're not part of that club.
I wonder why the down votes... Do we really have this many corpo democrats to be hurt by this obviously true statement?
My guess is it's the tone/phrasing of the comment. They could've just said he has about 10 million bucks. Which imo is not an exorbitant amount of wealth to have accumulated for a (very...) senior citizen who has worked for >50 years in upper echelon functions.
The blanket statement about readers 'not being fine' because they don't have that kind of money also doesn't help.
Politically, most of the folks on Lemmy are pro-establishment, even if it means voting for someone who is in obvious cognitive decline. (Which until yesterday was both candidates.)
