The cover story of the NY Times today discusses how in Silicon Valley, a couple million dollars just isn’t enough for some people.
“A few million doesn’t go as far as it used to.” states Hal Steger, a marketing executive worth $3.5 million.
Excuse me if I don’t shed a tear for these whiny millionaires that are in the top 1% income bracket of Americans.
“It’s not that I don’t like you; ok, it is that I don’t like you.” A normal conversation I had with a stranger during a night out.
I call it being blunt or overly honest. Most people call it being an asshole. Rather than fight over terminology with these bastards, I simply smile and say, “Yea, that’s me.” I embrace my inner asshole, because I enjoy it, and well, I’m good at it.
