TEMs (tm Simeon Adams)
I am not one for TEMs when it comes to internet dating as I have never got to truly know someone this way, you need to talk face to face or at the very least over the phone to begin to know someone.

A condition whose full form is Temporarily Embarrassed Millionaire Syndrome.

The diagnosis was first made by John Steinbeck when he said, "Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires."

Symptoms include, but are not limited to, simping for million and billion dollar companies without any incentive, believing in the ability to pick oneself up by the bootstraps in spite of repeated failures to do so, writing off poor and homeless people as lazy regardless of context, believing in the Just World Phenomenon, and believing in pure meritocracy.

Current treatment plans are based around in-depth study of sociology, history, and economics.
Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with Temporarily Embarrassed Millionaire Syndrome (TEMS)? If so, you may be entitled to sociological, historical, and economic education.

But don’t worry, things only get worse in Conestoga.
