But there is also still a seething anger at Donald Trump. That is, the motivation for billionaires all over the country is nothing but petty jealousy. For whatever reason, these monster-ego guys think they are 100 times smarter and better than Trump. And it kills them that he is President and they are not. "If only I had run! I could have beat him by a mile!" They underestimated Trump in the last election and they still do now. They are thinking incorrectly in my opinion, "If that idiot can win, then anybody can."
@240B You know,I had never even considered that,and really think you put your thumb down on something there!
Don't forget,some of these multi-millionaires are public faces on teebee news shows,looking semi-smart due to the work of the drones under them. NOBODY has more ego than a teebee personality that purports to know and be able to explain the news to us simple folks.
I even had a friends wife whose family is involved in Virginia politics once tell me "You are just too ignorant to really understand what is going on,and I don't have the time to try to dumb it down enough for you to understand it."
For real. I am guessing to this very day she is wondering why I started laughing hysterically.
Her family does have enough pull to get her eldest son a job in London with an international investment firm,straight out of college,though. TOTAL mama's boy that was never allowed to go to work with his father at his garage,and had to stay at home with his mother after school. Wasn't even allowed to cut the grass or wash the car. Wouldn't do to have the future scion do manual labor,would it?
The funny part is I got obsessed with computers back when DOS was still the king,and he started taking computer classes on school. He ran into a computer problem at home and his father asked me if I would stop by and see if I could figure it out,and I did. I even showed him a new way to do some things.
A couple of weeks later I read in the local newspaper about how he was a computer genius who had came up with a couple of new ways to configure DOS whatever,and how he had taught this to his teacher and computer class. There was even a photo of him and the instructor in the class,smiling. IIRC,the instructor was giving him some sort of award to hang on his wall.
I kept waiting for the "right opportunity" to ring her bell about that one,but she never talked about her son around me after that.
I suppose I am being unfair to "the boy",though. There is a CHANCE he wanted the job in London to get away from his mother instead of going there because his mother thought it was a good place for him to make the connections she wanted him to make,and he might even grow up to be an actual human being now that he has. Slim chance,but a chance.
