Most conservative pundits out there seem to all talk about how they wanted to do something specific with their life but it didn’t work out.
They like to blame the current systems and government for not doing enough to make them famous or popular or cool with the youth.

They then convince a bunch of people who are also unhappy but could have a lot of their issues with lack of time and resources fixed with money, that if they are unhappy while having money dumped in their lap than these normal people will be unhappy with it too. Hoping they fix some arbitrary reason they aren’t more famous.

    Just because “I have money but I am not happy” is a true statement, that does not mean that “if you have money, you will not be happy” is a true statement.

      Oh absolutely.
      And yet these kinds of people keep saying money won’t buy happiness when it’s literally proven that happiness does go up as you get financial freedom before topping off at an income that meets your immediate financial needs. Then you stop getting more happy.

      But I think they will never be happy because what they want isn’t tied to financial means. Look at Tim Poole and his need to be cool to skateboarders or all the Fox news hosts that worked in theater or tried to be journalists elsewhere like Tucker Carlson. Heck even Trump loves musical Theater and just wants his dead dad’s love he can’t get.

      Unhappy but somehow it’s the governments fault because the replacement job and money didn’t fix them.
