need for projecting wealth
My brother and I were talking about this on the phone yesterday. Examples of people who have wealth and at least at one time, power and whose houses are nice, but nothing wildly extravagant:
Warren Buffett's home near the University of Nebraska-Omaha. I forgot the name of the area, but I've seen the house.
My brother used to have to drive by George Bush, Jr'.s house in TX on his way to work. Again, nice, but nothing that "projects" wealth and power.
I like what you said about how trump diminishes us because he doesn't understand how things work.
