Ah, listen to the Trump supporters response to this post... "There's nothing new about rich people destroying homes to build mansions".
No, there is not. The wealthy have been turning stomachs for generations.
What is new is the "end of hope" for us poor lowly working class slobs...
I started a pretty important business a couple decades ago... a wealthy spoiled selfish brat came into the market and gob-snobbed market share. He had the resources to have all the resources we were struggling to obtain.
Am I bitter... heck ya. It's not destroying my life but it sure changes my mind about ever trying to develop a new product, start a small business, or spend my time thinking of innovative new ways to do things.
I'm not alone. Attitudes are similar with young people starting out. It's kind of daunting when you see million dollar tract homes and Billionaires making more money in an hour than the average worker makes in a year!
Do we give up? of course not. We're bad-asses. But, I revisit the words of my College Economics teachers, my parents and adults when I was a kid saying "The middle class is disappearing"... "Someday there will be no hope for workers to achieve success"
Someday is here.
And Trump wasn't going to be happy with all his fellow Billionaires financially raping us in board rooms, executive offices and on tax forms....
Oh noooooo no no no!!!
He's also increased the amount of wealth spoiled rich a-holes will inherit from their parents... Remember, more than have of people in the upper class are BORN INTO IT. They are the offspring of the people who may have worked for their wealth... or may have just inherited their wealth too.
It's a sick cycle. And, I've paid attention RICH OFFSPRING ARE USUALLY GREEDY, OVERBEARING AND WORTHLESS!!!
look at Trump and Trump's kids. You think Don Jr and Eric would be regarded as "upstanding" if they didn't have the Trump billions???
Hell no, they're animal killers. (and a whole lot of other things I won't post but we all hear the back stories...)
60,000 square foot mansions are for people who aren't "happy" being wealthy they have to ram it down their neighbors throats and compensate for most likely ugly personalities.
Hey, at least with 60,000 square feet you never have to be in the same room with them.
* ElectricCars.com was working with several innovative companies who were struggling to find funds to put electric systems in cars. Elon Musk had hundreds of millions... Tesla bought the rights to AN ELECTRIC CAR CHASIS/BODY HE DID NOT INVENT... (t-Zero) then he bought the rights to A CAR BODY DESIGN HE DID NOT INVENT.
That's not the sick part... he shoved his weight around and pushed GOOD COMPANIES OUT OF BUSINESS. Companies that would have used the frikkin $500,000,000 US tax payers gave Musk to build ELECTRIC CARS THAT WERE AFFORDABLE.
Not $120,000 rich kid sports cars that caught on fire and turned people off EVs and back to gas burner mentalities. Watch your skies. Trumps oil world will again bring us copper colored air and cancers.
"Great Again" Polluted again.
ps ElectricConversions.com will launch Nov 9, 2020 well at least until some rich a-hole buys the EVC market too
