Hermes has every right to offer their envelope for sale at whatever price they choose. It’s up to the market to tell them whether they’ve chosen wisely.

Who cares.. if someone wants to waste money on frivolity, and have it to waste... so be it.

YES, I WILL OPENLY MOCK THEM OR DOING SO... but I am not going to attack the people for making the object in the first place.

People have also decided that a ten year loan for a 100k pickup is also a good deal. One of the problems of the free market is that idiots also get a vote.

That's because their mind is so simple that they can only focus on one thing, the monthly payment, the rest is just too complicated.

There’s an idea. Reusable boxed wine for $150. Eco friendly.

As long as The Big Guy and other grifters receive their 10%,the Leviathan will purchase a lot of the envelopes with other people’s money. I can just see the Federally funded NGOs purchasing them, saying they are saving the planet, or some such other idiocy.

I heard that there’s an iPhone cover that costs $10K, and it’s all the rage in Hollywood. Women buy them to show off to other women.
