In reply to the discussion: I just bought a pair of jeans for $230. [View all]Haggard Celine
(17,911 posts)21. I was just being kind of sarcastic, but since you asked,
yes I think there is too much money, at least for one person to have. Musk and Bezos come to mind. They don't seem to know what to do with theirs. At least some, like Bill Gates, use their money for philanthropy, like Rockefeller and Carnegie did. I've known people with a lot less than Musk and Bezos who still had too much money for themselves. It's a very subjective thing, I think. I'm not saying there's a solution to it either. Rich people's taxes should be higher, but that wouldn't really cut into a billionaire's stash much. But look what money did to Donald Trump. Like a lot of other things in life, I suppose, it's all in what you do with it.

After reading the thread, I am wondering if the pants come with corn flakes and a pit bull.

Pretty sure the OP has done an excellent punk job (ala the old Punked show).
