You Know What We Need More Of?

Trust fund drug addicts.

Because the world can never have too many lazy, self-indulgent, narcissistic parasites taking up space and never quite accomplishing anything of value. Just imagine what chaos would ensue if these idling hipster suddenly stopped sucking at the tit of their families' fortunes and started relying on their own merits.

For one thing, purveyors of ugly, obscenely overpriced clothing would need to scale down, negatively impacting tax revenues for local governments. City-provided services for children, the elderly and the disabled would then be curtailed. Not to mention the factories in Guatemala, China and Vietnam losing work which supplies the local populations with lifestyles they could otherwise only dream of.

The multitudes of hanger-ons who make their way in this world on the backs of the stupid rich might spend less time partying and more time breeding.  Or working in customer service.  Think about it.

Then there's Dave, who lives in Panorama City and finances his band (they've got MAJOR label interest...) by supplying various and sundry pills to help the millionaire druggies pass the time and briefly distract themselves from the horrors of their lives.

Let's not forget the housekeepers, gardeners, auto mechanics, delivery people, attorneys, financial planners and all the miscellaneous support personnel who make life bearable for these sensitive angels.

OK, so every once in a while, you have to pretend to be interested as they mumble about not knowing what to wear to the art opening in a re-purposed warehouse in downtown L.A.  Big deal. It's not too much to ask.

You give, you take, and the world goes around.
