      Good or bad, sane or nuts, at a certain point you just end up being utterly out of touch with daily reality.

      I think it’s just really rich people, but tech CEOs are in this terminally online culture so not only does it all end up out there but they seem to feed off each other and try to bizarrely one up each other.

      Once you start getting real money, you start noticing how much is going to taxes.

      Even though the net income is more money than you’ve ever seen in your life, and the meagre fraction that is going to welfare is abysmally small, yet was a true lifeline to you when you needed it mere weeks ago… it still makes your blood boil knowing you’re not getting everything you feel you deserve.

      Imagine that amplified x 10, and you can see how a CEO might feel that they’re throwing tens of thousands a month on what they feel are undeserving recipients. All they see are the zeroes, not the percentage.

      TL;DR - we all inhabit the same planet, but we live in different worlds.

        Apparently, I’m a minority then. I do not earn “much” in the sens of making billions on the backs of spaghetti-monster-knows-how-many-ppl, but I make enough to comfortably get by, save sth, and donate money to charity (not to get tax exempt, mind ya).

        Then again - EU represent, this might skew things a bit
