The more money they have, the less happy they are. They’re addicted to making money, to watching the line go up and to the right. They’re addicted to trying to destroy the competition and buy them out, to consolidate more and more and more.

They are right when they say that wealth isn’t the key to happiness. They’re riding the bull and they don’t know how to get off.

I love this quote from Mr. Robot (paraphrase):

I don't care about money, as long as it's enough to live.

It may not buy happiness, but it sure as hell removes a lot of obstacles to happiness!

No, but having enough money buys financial security to do what you want.

It really doesn't. But it does buy a bunch of prerequesites.

My boss once said, in front of all staff that it's proven that more money doesn't make people happy, and I suggested that we swap out paychecks. She laughed, nobody else did.

Ugh, I wish this guy wasn't so problematic. I really did enjoy his off hand type of humor.

I'd rather cry in a Rolls Royce than at the bus stop

Really says more about the disdain for western public transportation.

I'll take coach seats on the Shinkansen over the driver's seat of a Ferrari.

Brother, I think being rolled down the street by a sumo wrestler is a better experience than most public transport around here

[–] [email protected] 6 points 13 hours ago

Worse ways to get rolled.

Well I'd take the destinations on the Shinkansen for wherever I'm going now...
