You can get into a lot of trouble by assuming that rich people know what they're doing.

A sweatshop: women sit around a table sewing. Through the lone window, we can see a 'code waterfall' effect as seen in the credits of the Wachowskis' 'Matrix' movies. To their left stands a man in a pin-stripe suit, looking at his watch. His body language radiates impatience. His eyes have been replaced by the staring red eyes of HAL9000 from Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey.' Each woman's head is surmounted by a set of floating Victorian calipers.

@pluralistic I realize that assumptions can be a bad thing, but I usually assume exactly the opposite about rich people, until I see some evidence to suggest otherwise.

If you had gone to highschool with them you'ld never suffer from that dilusion.
