He has spent his entire life clinging to the delusion that he is a great businessman and deal maker. It is what he wants to be remembered as. Now even the people of Wall Street are calling him out and exposing him for the fraud that he always had been. That probably hurts him down to the core of his pathetic being.
The stupid thing is that the unified West had no reason to fear Putin's hollow threats until Trump started doing everything he can to destroy what makes the West strong. He wants to roll over in front of Russia and make the US Putin's bitch.
The West won't roll over like him though. They'll strengthen their alliances against Russia and will become something far stronger. It just won't involve the US anymore.
The production costs don't account for the ungodly amounts of money they sink into marketing to brainwash their consumer base into thinking that their phones and other products are worth paying so much for.
Marketing used like that is an insane waste of wealth and productivity IMO.
A lot of people I've seen in Lamborghini cars aren't serious about their lives. They're spoiled idiots who lucked out and got a ton of money handed to them and are driving it around to show off how much money they have as if they deserved it.
At the gym, in the middle of a set. Some dude just walks over and starts talking to me. I can't understand shit because I've got earbuds in and I can't pause the podcast because I'm too busy holding the weight of a small person above my head. I cut my set short, put down the weights, pause the podcast and apologize, ask him to repeat as I couldn't hear him. Turns out it was just some small talk I never asked for. I politely entertain it for a while then he goes away.
4 minutes later he does the same shit all over again. Seriously some people are fucking clueless.
