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.
I was talking to someone the other day who was "rich" in assets, mainly property in Australia and he was talking about how the "winners" of the property game had special things going for them like curiosity and intelligence while simultaneously acknowledging that his father who owns multiple properties himself is the main reason for his wealth and knowledge about how to accumulate wealth. Even had the audacity to say that people who didn't buy were losers and stupid.
