    To quote a self-aware billionaire:

    I earn about 1,000 times the median American annually, but I don’t buy thousands of times more stuff. My family purchased three cars over the past few years, not 3,000. I buy a few pairs of pants and a few shirts a year, just like most American men. I bought two pairs of the fancy wool pants I am wearing as I write, what my partner Mike calls my “manager pants.” I guess I could have bought 1,000 pairs. But why would I? Instead, I sock my extra money away in savings, where it doesn’t do the country much good.

      Well I guess not everyone is good with money, but this is hardly an exception that invalidates anything.

        He’s not an exception, you utter buffoon, he’s the rule! 🤦

        One of these days I’m gonna learn to just leave it alone when I see your username or just block your Dunning Kruger poster boy ass. This is somewhere between the 3rd and 5th argument we’ve had in the last 5 or so months and you’ve been arrogantly obtuse every single time 😮‍💨
