It would be if I had that kind of money and a home worthy of it.

Preferring that the rich spend profligately rather than sitting on their money is not the same as preferring a society predicated on the idea of “trickle down economics”.

Okay, but are you going to take that up with the Chinese Communist Party and request that they change their society?

Sure, absolutely. But Apple is still paying wages for their employees, who do pay taxes and spend money in their communities.

Ice sculptures may well be negligible in the scope of the overall economy, but if ice sculpting work in a city keeps a few people employed who would not otherwise be employed, or would be employed in a less efficient way that does not make use of their skills, so much the better.

I have a hunch that dirt and poop and such were Patsy’s kryptonite. So any scatological tendencies Burke had would probably be encouraged by their being super effective at getting to his parents.

Dumb rich kids are a wonderful means of transferring wealth to the less fortunate. Trusts and estate management can fend off the tax man, but are no match for idiocy.

Of course not, but it’s an easily accessible way for a messed up, angry, jealous little kid to act out in an obvious and unavoidable way

They’re not like real seasons of 20 episodes or whatever that a real series has. They’re these weird stunted 8-episode “seasons” which are really half-seasons at best.

It’s the Kardashian empire. They’ve made E so much money E could afford to give Cait a second run.

“can we get a spinoff and cut the Kardashian Krap out of it?”

It would probably be made of actual flesh.

Vanity. Keeping up appearances.

Every child has the heart of a savage. He’ll be fine.

I think he could spin this into a turn on Dancing With the Stars.
