Beating your meat. A hacking story.

I still don’t understand why it bothers you how other people spend their money.

It isn't a matter of how others spend their money. PLEASE STOP THAT.

It is a matter of lack of introspection at the top. Jeff Bezos wants the money he has, but the truth is for that class, he doesn't need that much. It isn't a matter of saying others cant have more. People at that class collectively have the same wealth as the rest of the world's middle and bottom earners. 

If Jeff only made 1 billion a year, he'd still be rich. If he only made 50 million a year, he'd still be rich. That is the part that bothers me. Not that he has more money than me. I've struggled myself, I most certainly know the difference of living paycheck to paycheck, vs now, in living off buffer of what my mother left me. I cant even say what she left me will get me to social security and Medicare. But I do know, I cant see how someone who makes as much as he does, has the nerve to bitch about his personal taxes or his corporate taxes going up.

I don't get the gap on a passenger jet about getting off early or food, when, no matter where you sit, I'd think the most important aspect of the flight is NOT DYING. 

Outside flying, even with restaurant food, fast food, vs sit down food. Yea, I am willing to pay a couple cents/dollars more, for a sit down burger vs a McDonald's burger, anyone would. But I don't think the price difference should be comically absurd. 

I don't care what individuals spend their money on. I do care about greed, and pricing everyone out of participating in the economy.

Well, it IS you being bothered by how other people spend their money, because you said, 

 Your international flight will last anywhere from 12-24 hours. That makes no sense to me other than rich people like showing off.

And your comment about ‘pricing everyone out of participating in the economy’ is nonsensical. EVERYONE participates in the economy. That’s what makes it an economy.
