Stop avoiding my question: Why do you care how other people spend their money?

Stop avoiding my response.
I DON'T GIVE A SHIT if you want to spend your money on navel or pocket lint. I REALLY DONT. I do care however, when the people at the top fuck the middle and working class over by basically pricing everyone else out of stability.
Jeff Bezos is worth is an estimated $185 billion.
Please tell me how someone a dishwasher or cab driver, or hotel made is a threat to him by saying, "HELLO".
I’m not avoiding your response - I’m ignoring your responses because they’re not germane to my question.
Conspicuous consumption doesn’t fuck the middle and lower classes out of anything, nor does it price them out of stability or mobility.
Suppose I spend $20K on airfare to visit, say, London. While there I stay in a thousand dollar-a-night hotel suite, and dine on pangolin tartare at $500 an ounce. How does that negatively affect a dishwasher, cabbie, or hotel maid?
