    Being self-centered to this degree is a pathology. Being that rich literally damages your mind.

      “I became rich, so everyone else can do it to. They’re just too lazy.”

      Lady, people aren’t poor because they go out to eat and go to the movies. 1 trip to the hospital costs more than an entire year of that shit.

      I loathe the folks that are vastly financially successful and think that same path is possible for everyone. As if the opportunities you’re born into and luck aren’t very large factors… Also this bitch raised a monster.

        So many people my age or slightly older have no clue how much things have changed for people entering adulthood in thst past 20 to 30 years.

        We could go to university and pay for it by ourselves with a part time job and maybe max out a GSL at $2500/year for four years.

        And that’s not all. They didn’t have all the bullshit they do today where you can’t (easily) declare financial independence until 25.

        Once I was financially independent I got Pell grants and lots more work study. I ended up not using the work study for my senior year because I was paid more for an internship and they asked me to keep working through the school year.

        I graduated with a whopping $10k or so in loans and paid $108/mo for 10 years. My interest rate was quite high at 9%. My starting salary was out of school was about $28k (1986). That works out to about $80k today.

      If there’s something wrong with the bitch, there’s something wrong with the pup.

      I wonder how she feels about her husband fathering multiple children with his stepdaughter.

      ”Wh— What are you doing, StepDad…?

      I wish she had gone on a show where the interviewer asked her that. “Given your failure to raise an even somewhat decent human being, why should anyone take your advice on parenthood?”

        American culture dictates that the parent with the most downstream revenue in the family tree is the one with the secret to being awesome.

    Wanna bet her restaurant bills are nothing below $50k and she thinks this is also what the rest of us spend when he go out to eat?

    Also this lady is in no position to teach us about parenting. She raised a spoiled manchild.

    Using MOVIES as an example is hilarious…ticket sales haven’t come close to rebounding after COVID. Seems there are a lot of people who already took it out of their budget to make room for groceries!

          We paid about 3$AUD per banana just over a decade ago. Cyclone Yazi had wiped out a fair portion of the plantations.

          I don’t want to imagine what they’d hit cost wise if that were to happen now.

            I remember when I was visiting Australia back 2009 I think and bananas were about $16 aud/kg. We were paying about $0.90 USD/lb. So if we multiply by 2.2 to convert to kilo and assume $1 AUD = $0.70 USD, it works out to $2.82 AUD/kg.

            Pretty darn close in price before the storm.

      It’s also deeply clueless. The movies and the dinners, the nice cars and the comfortable homes, the very ability to afford raising kids without turning into a burned-out piece of shit are what give you enthusiastic compliance from your staff.

      The Musks are extremely racist, in no small part because they have seen how ground down people became under centuries of colonial subjugation and decided “I guess Africans are just like that”. Then they want to inflict the same abysmal standard of living on their American peers.

    Please tell me the interviewer replied with “wtf are you talking about, you crazy woman??”.

    Oh wait, no, American media companies are owned and controlled by people like her. They don’t want to upset their rich peers.
