You have to put things in perspective.

Like when a rich person is like I don’t need Coca-Cola to have joy in my life.

It’s different when you’re slaving away in the hot sun roofing for 14 hours and you’ve got seven dollars to spend.

Like expecting that guy to not drink Coke is so obtuse.

It’s like rich libertarians are always like I don’t understand why the poor don’t pick themselves up on the bootstraps when the poor dont do anything but work and get f’d by banks.

And then they can’t afford anything else and libertarians who are purely lucky they just won the lottery like all the rest of the libertarians, are like I don’t understand, why do you need a car to feel special.

Writing from a campsite on a satellite phone in $150,000 camper.

The problem isn’t somebody bought a $300 car that’s like such a low car payment.

The problem is that in this country the guy who has a $300 car and his hobby is canoeing isn’t able to save money that’s the problem that’s the thing that we should be concerned with.

That is not his fault that is a perfectly reasonable expectation to have for anyone in this country.
