They'd curl up in a ball and wail if they had to actually live in the real world.

It is one of the reasons I am SO tired of rich people being elected to represent this nation in any capacity. They don't know how most of it even works, but we still think they are the most intelligent people. Because, for some reason, we have been programmed to think that the greediest, most inhuman people are the best choices.

A delusion we really need to start recognizing.
