    I just don’t understand why someone would spend this much time trying to make a small group of people miserable. Doesn’t she have better things to do with her time?

    JK Rowling somehow turned into one of those weird ladies on Nextdoor who has nothing better to do.

        It may just be easier to get rich if you’re fucked in the head already. Risk avoidance? That’s the sign of a smart person, but most ways for a poor to become a rich are far more likely to fail than succeed. Empathy? Healthy, but that’d stop you from stepping on people on the way up.

        Especially as a writer, idk about other countries but the USA’s literacy levels are abysmal (half the population reads at a 10 year old’s level or worse!), so an idiot would have the largest audience.

      She explains why here. Quite long, not very logical or convincing.
