3. it's the old money=power=
abuse of power=trouble

I must admit that when I made six figures I wasn't totally myself. My wife (still with me after 30 years) actually says she likes me more the way I am: A cynical Boomer who makes a lot less than in the past.

4. Sporting events are a great escape
from our lives...entertainment just as much as politics/music/movies/TV etc.

5. it's all about the money and
the perceived elevation of their social stature because of that money. It's not just athletes, it's any asshole with more dollars than sense.
