It seems like you're baiting because we have never heard this definition before:

A miser is someone who is infatuated with the past, and is grumpy about the present

Did you get it from an AI chatbot?

I dont want to get into a massive comment chain about basically nothing.

1. You asked about the definition of miser, and provided an “original” or alternative definition
2. I replied with a definition, and asked where you heard your definition.
3. youve gone entirely off the rails talking about china and other countries.
