    Alright then… rich people shouldn’t be in control. They could just sit back and enjoy their money and not try to control the rest of the world. Or is my dislike of people based economic status, and desire to control things a problem for you?

    Just the way the world is no matter the system, egotistical assholes will always rise up to control the meek. Humble people have little to no desire to control others. Why they aren’t world leaders.
    Dirt bike buddy of mine in AZ is neighbors with guys who do.

    My dislike derives from your inability to value ideas or decisions by anything other than the idea/decisions own merit. I dont care what you look like or what you have in your bank account if that idea or decision is solid it has value to stand on its own. Re-evaluate how you think.

    Ok, so you're saying that I should just let my employees run every aspect of my company without any oversite from me. Sounds good. I needed a solid opening topic for tomorrow mornings meeting. They should be thrilled. Thanks.

    I understand what you are saying. The system doesn’t seem fair and there are some commonalities amongst those in charge. I would say that congress and senate averaging $170k per year vs Americans at $60k per year seems a little unfair. Rule makers making money to make rules. We shouldn’t keep this up though it has nothing to do with the Rivian v Tacoma. We can disagree on things and that’s usually how problems get solved amongst people.

    Freedom? That's a made up word. Not real.

    I disagree... but that's all I'm saying about this topic... Prank caller, prank caller.

    Thanks for pointing out that my statement was generalizing and unfair.

    Best comparison is you can have 3 or 4 Tacomas for the price of one hugely ugly Rivian.

    You can run your business how you want. It’s business. You should be making more money than your employees and also decisions to make you and your business more money. If the people that work for don’t like that they can get another job.

    You can have 3 or 4 Corolla's for the price of one 911 but I'd still take the 911.

    The price comparison isn't apt because if you can afford it, you can afford it. If you can't, you can't. How much you personally value each car is entirely subjective and up to you.

    But carries the same amount of groceries. You know for the 99.9% of the time you are not pulling 4 Tacomas.
