  • They are human beings, these are human behaviors, and it’s not “no true human would…” Of course they would, and easily, too. My only point was to highlight differences in our concepts of wealth, and theirs.

    Entire Royal families have been terminated for having less relative wealth to the workers than todays ruling class.

    Indeed.

    The very wealthy do shop at warehouse clubs, Walmart, etc. You won’t see them being walking advertisements for clothing lines, either. They do buy quality clothing, but they aren’t overtly branded, unless they’re casual, work or sports clothing. They may drive nice cars, many will own a regular 90s model Pontiac or something. They also don’t plan their money for years, rather in centuries. There’s a difference in behavior and attitude between old money and nuveau riche, as well.













  • It’s really hard to list any news sources that I don’t read with a few kilos of salt. DN! seems one of the more trustworthy, and Amy Goodman makes it work on a very slim budget; and for that reason, she’s simply not able to cover everything, and maybe that’s good, because it gives us time to really think about what they publish. I can tell you the only reason I miss TV is for local coverage, and even then, it’s also best taken with a few kilos of salt.
