Quote from: RE on Jan 08, 2024, 03:23 PMThe issue I always found a problem was that it seemed to me that wealth had little to do with how hard you worked, The richest people seemed to do the least work.
I remember finding out why Bob Alpblanap was a rich contributor to Richard Nixon's campaign. He invented the little valve that goes on the top of spray can bottles. The guy has a brainstorm one night and never has to work again a day in his life? A rock star gets rich because he plays a mean guitar. HTF is that hard work? I guess it's hard work to keep your nose stuffed with coke and fuck groupies between concert dates.
People born rich stayed rich just by loaning money to poor people, then when they couldn't pay back the loan stripping them of all their assets. How is that hard work? They were lucky to be born rich.

I actually don't want 'money for nothin' and 'chicks for free' is a pipe dream in any reality. But a great tune it is! Love the lyrics and worth the full eight minutes.
Contentment comes not so much from great wealth as from few wants.
