@david @ai6yr reminds me of the time decades ago when I was at an auto upholstery place near Beverly Hills getting something minor done to my car and noticed a brand new, top of the line, totally tricked out Range Rover parked in front. Asked the guy why a brand new car would need upholstery. Him: a specific musician had it driven directly from the dealer to the upholstery shop to have all the leather upholstery replaced with a different color he liked better.
This answers the question, "Did hip hop artists back in the day have money to burn?"

  @ai6yr @msbellows @david I used to haunt a car stereo business and got to know the owner. He was blown away by all of the LA kids getting a Lexus or Benz or whatever as a gift from their parents, then showing up at his place to get a custom stereo rig. He had an area where they literally reconstructed interiors to fit the speakers the gifted wanted. They'd drop thousands of dollars on the car's stereo alone. Some people have all the bucks to burn at 20.

  @msbellows @steter @david
  Well, I already have been consigned to H-E-double-toothpicks because my parents drank coffee as a kid. A kid broke my glasses and gave me a bloody nose because of that one. How many of YOU have gotten in a fight over your parent's coffee drinking habits?!?!

  @msbellows @steter @david It really is sad how that works. I know a few people--nice guys--,who grew up with very modest backgrounds, but then made a lot of money, and then got married and had kids who were buying sports cars at 16 and parents money funding cocaine in high school, and the kids turned out absolutely rotten. Too easy money too early in an environment where money is the currency can (but doesn't always) turns kids into a**ferrets. One person I know (in Silicon Valley) bemoaned that kids were looking up other kids' net worth and choosing their friends based on that. 🤢

  @ai6yr @steter @david It's okay: you don't need to censor the word "assferrets" because they're actually a lab-created cross between a donkey and a close relative of the weasel.

  @steter @ai6yr @msbellows @david I met a girl during freshman orientation week. Her dad had given her a new car for her 16th birthday. And another one as a high school graduation present. She seemed nice though.
  A week later I bump into her sitting on a bench outside the admin building. She’s really looking upset, so I ask her what’s wrong. “I didn’t get one of my classes, I don’t know what to do” and started crying. I who had not gotten any of my classes had no idea what to say, other than I hadn’t got any of my classes. That did seem to cheer her up.

  @me_valentijn @msbellows @ai6yr @david We got into fights mostly because there were bullies. Now we elect them to high office, where they can do no harm. 🙄

  Unlike the Mormons, they were all getting into fights at school because they were drunk* 😔
