      You don’t have to think ahead when you can just pay other people for everything without ever impacting your standard of living.

      I think it’s even simpler than that. They’re millionaires. Why would they give a shit if their house is under water in 20 years. They’ll just get another one and stay in their other houses while they find another beach front house, and get some money back from the house insurance they can afford.

        Yeah they have FEMA insurance so our taxes pay for it. They love taking our tax money and spending it on their excesses.

      What’s idiotic?

      If they only care about short term fulfillment/success, they are “winning”.

      Obviously long term it’s idiotic but they clearly don’t care

      Impossible. If they were stupid, how could they possibly have gotten so rich? Its not as though you can just steal billions of dollars through systemic coercion, corruption, and graft.
