Are limos even a thing any more? I mean, other than for Prom? Are you thinking liberals shouldn't go to prom? I just don't get it.

His point is, all of us are overvalued, the beneficiaries of a rigged system that helps us and keeps the proles down, and we are deluded in our bleeting about Trump because we don't want real change, we just want a different leader who will preserve our privileges.

Close. We'd all like to give more and have a more equitable society, but nobody wants to give up the structures that protect our revenue streams (that aren't really warranted).
I just made what most Americans might earn in a day in one hour. I try to provide the most value I can (I'll actually tell clients how to cut bills of other attys where I see fluff work being done, which I think they appreciate). And I'll tell people all the time, "You really don't want to pay me to do that" when a lot other guys would happily run the meter.
But even being fair, it's a joke to get paid hundreds of dollars per hour for this work. Am I worth more than a plumber? Worth more per hour than a dentist? Fuck outta here! There's a fucking massive informational asymmetry at work here.

The real deal here is Hank. He’s not a managing partner at Duke & Duke... he’s its biggest client.

ThroneBanes are my thing, on Grab, which defeated Uber in SE Asia. I still want to short the company, but the new CEO is doing a good job of selling its unprofitable extensions, which is resulting in consolidation in the industry, which is limiting the turf war pricing to the bottom. Not that I dont enjoy that, e.g. a $3.50 ride from the airport this morning.
