I'd take you out for a drink, Powers! lol

I ain't rich. You ain't getting anywhere.

No buddy, it's for your benefit lol

That's what you say.

Reminds me of a guy I used to work for many years ago. He had a bumper sticker on his van that read "I Fart to Make You Smell Better."

lol lol

I agree. The true upper class old-money Northeastern WASP types I've known, and I've known many of them, are invariably pleasant, non-condescending, and in their own way even humble.

Yes. Noblesse oblige, in the best sense of the term. Unfortunately, it isn't always passed on, even if the possessions are. My mother's godmother was a baroness; she was delighted that my grandmother, her custom milliner, asked her to be godmother to my mother. The baroness took it seriously, and was always a positive, engaged presence in my mother's young life. I met her once: she made everyone feel at ease. Not so her daughter, who lacked all of the baroness's grace and consideration, and was simply a snob.

It's not hard to make a lot of money if all you want to do is make a lot of money.

A great quote from the movie "Citizen Kane".

Very true. It will probably cost you something more dear than money, however.

Nothing you really want is free; you have to pay for it and usually with your heart.

:rofl:

The funny thing is that people like this don't understand the word patronizing. Although they certainly know how to do it.

It's like hipsters who insist-- usually under intense criticism -- that they don't know what a hipster is or that such a creature is nonexistent. lol

Um, Where DID the Hipster's thread go?? Boy, I don't read ONE day for lunch and see where things go.

In summary, "The first generation that's BORN rich seem to be a flaming pain in the rear."

Later Y'all

Not only hipsters drink it, Jimmy. There's no hipsters around here, but the beer is still very popular among the blue collar, myself included.

Wow. How the mighty have fallen to the hipsters.

It is true, and I've been guilty of it myself. It gets frustrating when you see them bring in the 'college boy' type to do a job that any of the guys on the floor could do through the sheer experience of working at the plant all these years, but they're not good enough, because they don't have a piece of paper.

I usually would have no problem with it, but it's the way they talk down to the rest of us like they're a teacher and we're a bunch of got-dang first-graders! I respect education and say more power to anybody who wishes to pursue it, but it doesn't make one person better than another.

To be fair here - there's plenty of folks who are in the trades that look down on the "educated folks" as well. They see them (sometimes rightly) as snobbish and elite. There's always some truth to both sides of the story.

Now that is what I was trying to say and you did it in one sentence.

It is interesting to note the old saying: There is a progression from sandals in the first generation back to sandals by the third generation.

It is still tough to make a lot of money. It takes a lot of vision and an idea that people will buy. That you can build an empire on as long as you keep staying ahead of it. Innovation is a good watch word whether is was Rockefeller, Carnegie or Stanford.

And the hipsters probably look down on you for being down with The Man.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Hipsters try to be like us, though, drinking Blue Ribbon and wearing those work shirts with their names on them. I never wear mine outside the plant!
