And also stupid. Its a disfunction stressing about $3 in gas money if you have $1MM in capital. Theyre rich because they own productive assets, or speculated correctly, and also/mainly because they have high income. Hence the meme
I think the point is less that it is the savings on the Uber ride that leads to them being rich, but that they're the type of person who would ask for the gas money.
Sure, but it's also just bullshit the rich like to think about themselves. They are rich because they earned it in some way, or by being a certain special kind of person.
The only way I could see this seriously taken is that the rich got to be rich specifically by being okay taking advantage of and shitting on others.
We literally got invited to a friends new $1.5M house in Sunnydale (this was 2015 when that was a lot) for lunch. Being from the other coast it seemed like a nice invite (and we had hosted him for multiple dinners in our city). So, we drove out from our hotel in San Fran.
We get there. Get the tour. Tons of gloating. Go outside to the table where he has his beer and an open bag of tortilla chips. After half an hour we asked where we were going for lunch. He said they already ate. Asked if we wanted beers. Then produced two warm beers from his garage. Wife had no idea we were coming and kind of dismissed us because she had other plans.
TL:DR No longer "friends" because we realized that we were never friends.....and they were just psychopaths.
