the article misses the mentality of the mega wealthy. the reason the guy with the 300K boat isn't happy is because hes thinking about the guy with the 400K boat. that guy also isn't happy because of the 500K boat guy, and so on. what matters to them is having the most shit to flaunt, and if you're a poor, then you're making a mistake if you think you even exist to them in any capacity other than as a potential tool to make them more money
