A pedant would differentiate between “envy”: desiring what someone else has, and “jealousy”: feeling that others want to take what you have; a pedant would, but not me, no way, never.
I’m a pedant who isn’t repentant. Danke schoen, Danshen, you’re right. We speak of a jealous husband, always watching over his wife. But I envy you for your late model Porsche and iPhone 10.

Anger is the only emotion I see anymore (online, anyway). So maybe we’re down to one…

Yes. Scott is describing ‘envy’; jealous is when you have something but (think? fear?) that other people may take it away.
