Heh. I’m “unflappable” too. Had one boss ask, while freaking out over something, how I managed to stay so calm - reply: “I’ve studied self defense; when you’ve considered how to deal with someone trying to kill you, everything else pales in comparison.” Some 8 years later I spent about an hour borderline dead, making me even more calm about life.

With that and other skills, I too earn my pay. And I respect the ability of those who can earn more - a lot more.

Yeah, I make’em look good, but I understand the trade-off, and we always have choices.

Yep. That is what had made America so great, and was at the core of the American Dream.

Instead of trying to tear someone down and take from them what they earned (today's mindset as illustrated by the reaction of some to this situation) people used to try to get ahead and rise to that level attained by the wealthy.

No more.
