So, he didn't make any money from 2008-2016 and from 2020-2024?

I think he's just saying he's happy to sell his soulja to the highest bidder.

I love Chuck. I always have. But this just sealed the deal.

I was honestly surprised when I read this, because I didn't know you were a big fan of Chuck Schumer.

I had this moment listening to it where I nearly cried because he was never a Blazer.

Then I read EB's post and realized I was thinking of the wrong Chuck.

Although, never-a-Blazer is true of both Chucks. Think how well we could tank with Chuck Schumer in the post.

There have actually been studies. Up to a certain point wealth can increase happiness. When people have enough for basic needs, are able to treat themselves and others, have a reserve on case of emergency, they feel happier.

But extreme wealth becomes like Monopoly money, meaningless. At a certain point they have been so rich for so long they have done and bought everything. Nothing is new.

Read a news story about two years ago. Bill Gates reserved an entire upscale Spanish restaurant for two nights. Chef carefully prepared super meals. Gates walked in with a bunch of people, hangers on of some sort, clearly not friends, drank a diet Coke and left while all the other people ate the food.

Chef figured it was just nothing special to him. That nothing was.

Yeah, super rich could still build personal relationships unconnected to wealth but rarely seem to.
