Yep.

Lots who come from families who “have nothing” think they are underprivileged, when really they have a fortune in all the right stuff.

Handling great wealth requires skill, and most modern folks are not up to the task.

In the “old days” this issue was addressed by families who gave the children of wealth “tough love” to develop the necessary discipline.

That means that such children should have _less_ freedom than other children, _less_ discretionary income than other children. That means that drug/alcohol use and youth sexual activities must be strictly banned with the rules strictly enforced.

That means that such children must do _hard_ work, including _hard_ physical work.

Then as adults they will be prepared to reach whatever potential they may have—despite the great wealth.

Especially when it comes with “Rich Guilt”, which usually means getting involved with and supporting Liberal causes.

Where do you think BLM gets their money from? Guys like this.

Money doesn’t buy happiness. Or good tattoos, apparently.

Needle in arm, asphyxiated on own vomit

And on the rare occasion when the star gets shot, it’s usually in the shoulder. The left shoulder. So he can continue to shoot with his right hand.

And should he ever end up in the hospital in a critical situation he will always make a miraculous recovery. And with no scars next time there’s need for a shirtless scene with a nearly naked co-star.
