I read some news that Bezos was getting into the real estate business and got to thinking that any sane person would realize they have enough and there is no logical reason to acquire more wealth.
Searching the internet I was sure I would find an official classification for this derangement labeled by the medical establishment as a type of disorder but I found no such thing. The closest was maybe "narcissism." They do consider paranoia: a general distrust of others, as a personality disorder (it means your passing attention).
Anyways, I think all the money hungry billionaires would not like to be labeled as having a disorder so we pretend it doesn't exist. If it was accepted that they were batshit crazy, would people still seek their advice on pharma, climate change and general biology? Probably less so.
Richard Branson said once you get to a certain point it’s no longer about money, it’s about keeping score.
Michael Jordan didn’t have a gambling problem. He had a competition problem. Even in his HOF speech he still had to get back at people going to high school.
I totally agree. But at what point are they all just nutters instead of respected members of society whose opinions we seek out on morning talk shows.
I heard Michael Jordan threw over a monopoly board in college because he was losing.
He’s not wired correctly. Society worships disfunction. There’s a video in 1988 (Larry king) where Trump says rich people don’t like him. It seems to be the cab drivers and everyday folks that love him. He’s even used the term stupid rich people recently.
General Flynn spoke about how Trump went up To the guys tending the tires of his plane and gave them a wad of cash. It was pouring cats and dogs…. And he took the time to say thank you. Our wealthy elite keep taking. Trump keeps giving.
That Larry King video may be in my post history
