6. he has a point...

Actually he *does* have a point about possessions etc. It's just that he shows what an ignorant fuckwit he is by not realizing that there are billions on people who would (literally) die for his 'problems'.

His 'downsizing' was not a realization that others had so little and he had so much as it was a pragmatic consideration that he was spending too much time with material things.

It's still all "me, me, me" in his life. You would have thought traveling would have made him more of a 'global citizen' *(yeah right). But he still doesn't get it. Never once did it cross his mind that the problem is that he has so much while others have so little - THAT'S what should bother him more that 'gee, I got too many homes to keep track of - it's such hard work"
