The price of things do not matter to the rich.

It’s been going on for awhile now. Didn’t anybody notice? At least it will work in our favor in that many voters are stuck with paying so much more for routine items. Think fast food. In and out and cheap-at least it was.

Think of the poor young schmuck that can’t afford to take out the girlfriend he’s trying to impress. Then there’s the $20 calamari appetizer I used to pay $6-8 for.

I use this thought exercise to explain how the world looks to the risk: Regarding everything you are thinking you might want or need to buy, remove two zeroes from the price. And remove three zeroes for the very rich, and four or five for the super rich.

Seriously. When a $100,000 car is suddenly a thousand bucks, it seems oddly affordable.😁

That’s because the wealthy limousine lefties are champagne 🥂 🍾 socialists.

Pretty soon it is going to become cheaper to go to Disneyland than it is to visit McDonald’s.

$100 for burgers and fries for a family of five. The “new neighbors” (the politically correct term for illegal immigrants) are not going to like that. The State of California is going to amp up the funding for support of these “new neighbors”.
