"If you're making $300k a year, you have more in common with someone making minimum wage than you do with Elon [Musk, the founder of Tesla and other corporations]. There are people that walk among us that have so much wealth, that even generations of mismanagement can't squander it. These folks you speak of are not those folks."

        The future is completely, completely unpredictable. We can only try to be well positioned to take advantage of events as they happen, and maybe steer things a little when we can. Not saying it's fruitless to try to predict what comes next, just that... well, a fucking asteroid could wipe out the east coast and whoever was best positioned to restore some semblance of normalcy after that would be the winners.

          You're right. Its easy for me to get locked into looking at things from a certain paradigm but things are changing very fast and who knows what conditions will look like in a few months or years.
