    I want the person who drives the limousine to be paid a good wage and the person sitting in the back of the limousine to continue to use their discretionary funds to go to our restaurants, to our hotels.

    "Just think of how much more food we'll sell if, instead of spreading the wealth out to let everyone enjoy going to a restaurant, we give it all to one dude! As hard as he must work to acquire that money, he's going to be mighty hungry! I mean, people with billions of dollars certainly wouldn't just hoard it to buy or bully politicians with, if that's what you're thinking..."

      Motherfucker the rich spend proportionally way less of their "discretionary funds", most of that shit goes to fucking tax havens, face the wall you fucking ghoul. God I fucking hate liberals.

      Do people rich enough to have personal drivers even go to restaurants unless it's some big social event? I can't imagine the livelihood of the average Shake Shack employee in Manhattan is dependent upon some billionaire.

      Does Eric Adams think real life is like the game Yakuza 0 where if you're really rich then money flies off you in big cash explosions
