Great post. Money is not a frivolous subject for most Americans along with a myriad of other needs.
My daughter’s partner explained to me over the weekend that Bezos’s wedding employed lots of people. Helps the economy. I shook my head and said, “That’s like farting on a marble in order to move it.” I think we’re moving back to a Gilded Age mentality unfortunately.
P.S. as a former teacher, single parent of 3 kids, I remember saying that if I could make 20k a year I’d be happy. That’s a circa 1985 statement! LOL!

My first Substack comment has the word “fart” in it! Thank you, MM.
