You have stated that I should engage with Cofnas' empirical claim that Ashkenazi Jews like me are "shrewd" (ie miserly/money-grubbing and good at it).
How do you want me to engage with it?

"Maybe Scrooge was right-" he was not. He was a miserly asshole facing the same demise as his former business partners if he didn't make some serious changes with how he treats the people around him. That's the point.

If I could name one consistent feature of people who end up having miserly, paranoid, counterproductive politics, it would be this—the attitude that care should flow TOWARD you but not FROM you.

on the subject of that synonym for "miserly" that no one uses anymore:
Before that word vanished nearly entirely, I noted that its last holdouts were people who seemed to me to be using it with a great defiant sense of causing offense that they could then deny because they knew the etymology.
I wasn't unhappy to see it go.

There is no gray area on Scrooge. He is the most explicitly caricatured figure in all of Dickens. A Sistine Chapel level finely filigreed precise depiction of every miserly trait boiled down to an aromatic reduction. A Platonic ideal of the form.

Anyway just saying, not every miserly person can be saved by just sending ghosts at them. There needs to be something to save.

Can’t think of a better example of late stage capitalism than turning the incredibly popular “Here Is Why Rich People Are Miserly Bastards Whose Only Road To Redemption Is Giving Away Their Wealth” story into “But What If The Rich People Are Just Misunderstood?” story

Not sure about this from the IFS. In the real world, I'm not convinced that changing an incredibly miserly income of £4,732 per year to a still-miserly £5,096 per year is going to persuade people, who would otherwise have got a job, that they're now so financially comfortable, they're not going to.

Cutting off the miserly US funding to the third world for things like easily preventable diseases and clean drinking water, etc, will have horrific consequences, and by no means will they be redistributing that wealth in America
