$40 million isn't enough to enter the ranks of the mega rich, but it's a hell of a lot more than even a prosperous working class lifestyle. It's not enough to make someone a global elite, but you can absolutely become a local elite, and the posters here really undersell what shits the local elite can be. It's enough to make rape cases and "accidental" hit and run cases disappear in the local town or small city. While it can't buy large amounts of national power, it can absolutely bend the ear of the mayor and the state representative. And as Texas and other places show, state representatives can greatly change the quality of life for people in their state, even if they don't have the reach of Federal government. The posters here really undersell what it means to be a local elite and being able to push every local and regional politician to show up at the local Eagle scout ceremony just because your son is part of it. The local gentry can't compare to the wealth of the true lords of parliament, but there's still a obvious gap between the middle class and local gentry. It goes struggling > comfortable > local elite > global elite, and the squid games absolutely award enough money to jump up to local elite. golden bubble fucked around with this message at 19:35 on Oct 28, 2021 |
