The fraction of the stuff the Mr and Mrs Howells use in the world is tiny compared to the fraction of stuff the deck hands like Gilligan use.
Are you seriously claiming this?
Take your average construction-worker. he has a truck with a toolbox full of tools. he has a smallish house, and probably a second car. These are the things he uses.
Now take your average 1-percenter. He has a limo, a couple of classic cars, a sports car, and an entire workshop full of high-end tools he rarely uses. He has a scanning electron microscope for entertainment in the Media Room of his favorite mansion, as well as a Summer House, a Winter House, a Lake Cabin (with boat), a Villa on the Riviera, and at least one guest house. If he rides, he has a stable full of horses and all the equipment that requires. He owns or leases a private jet and a helicopter. His house is fully wired and networked with computers and TVs in every room, including the bar, the den, the rumpus room, the media room, the poolhouse, and probably another half-dozen rooms you and I don't have (and never will).
And that's just the start.
I have worked for these people, setting up and repairing IT networks. I've seen how they live, and what they use.
And you, sir, are full of shit.
