The following is tragic example of the world in which we live. To be so oblivious to one’s own excess is disturbing on so many levels. Sadly this kind of excess and shallow materialism has been the hallmark of the 1% for some time. If the rest of the world knew how the wealthy really lived there would be riots in the street. Ironically though, even the wealthy cannot afford to live like this and in order to keep up with their well to do acquaintances (I will not even write friends) they cut corners, go into debt, manipulate the markets, and steal from the less fortunate. I have been fearing for some time not only for America and the entitled across the globe, but everyone due to the inevitable clash of classes and instability to come. Here’s hoping the upper classes wake up and a more equitable redistribution of wealth becomes a way of life and not a (violent) remedy.
