Just like climate change, the wealthy will continue to gamble that their money will make them immune to consequences.
Our adopted son came to us with a twisted value system that includes a fascination with the most expensive of the cars.

After Reagan, Bush, Bush the sequel, and now Trump, the balance is tipped, and as the song says "... and you've not been hit by flying lead, close your eyes and bow your head, and wait for the ricochet".
