    That AND people with basically endless amounts of money have time to practice skills for themselves like acting, art, or music. Rich people have the most valuable resource in life. Time.

      Right? I recently read a book by an author who appeared to be confused to the point of paranoia by how many of the 1960s rock musicians from California (Topanga Canyon scene) were from wealthy or politically connected families.

      Although it started out pretty entertaining, I didn’t make it all the way to the end of the book. I mean - has he never met that type of kid? There’s no conspiracy beyond wealth and connections. Banal to the point of boredom.

      I mean sometimes. That is not always the case though. Take Chris Pratt for example, he was mentioned elsewhere in this post. He was dirt poor, working as a waiter when his antics impressed a producer who wanted to put him in front of a camera.

      Then he got rich, mingles with other rich people and met Arnold’s daughter. (After divorcing Anna Faris and becoming a born again).
