    I have a a 40-something friend from Buenos Aires who sends her daughter to a very expensive school cuz their ex-inlaws are rich fucks and pays for it. So she has to deal with the other mothers, and one time a group of them invited her to a "shop weekend" in Miami via private jet.

        It really stuck in my brain and I hope never to forget it.

        Like, that's a 12 hours flight only to get there, to shop (and probably smuggle drugs and shit) via private jet.

        God I hate them,

        Anyways, I have other friends with anecdotes of similar shit, like :

        "Hey, we need to make this presentation for Tuesday's class, when can we meet?"

        "Ah sorry I'm going to Miami this weekend"

          It's so comically frivolous for so many reasons. Every day, I pray for more small plane crashes.

          Obnoxious once for the squandering of resources and again for the blith attitude towards education. Like "fuck do I care, I'm just going to work for the family business anyway".

          This is what some poor bastard working 60 hour weeks on Min Wage at the Shop'n'Save is ultimately paying for.
