This is why the Tips Goal has totally dominated discussion for DSP. When it's full, it gives him leeway to pretend nothing's wrong and everyone's happy.
Whenever there's BIG EXCITING NEWS (like him mysteriously getting a new Xbox console after a SAVE THE HOUSE fundraiser) his piggies really pony up the donations and scan the Farms/chat for trolls to tattle on.
When it's low, he starts berating the chat which means he's forced to pay attention to what they're talking about, which is how we get Lineapp gold dust.
Phil complains that people talk about his money too much but he's the one that made everyone super excited whenever he doesn't have much in donations because he finally has to listen to what people are talking about.
So this will all be swept under the rug until the disability checks run thin or he figures out how to play the victim here.
