I had the news on in the background while dealing with my own life's bullshit when the local news decided to report that rapper Jay-Z and his wife, singer, Beyonce have a mortgage of (estimated) $52 million. The anchors then had a moment of solemn silence followed by shaking their heads as if to shame the pair.
"Wow, that's just wow.", said male anchor has he stared into the camera.
I was in the room with someone else who proceeded to proclaim "Mmm, mhm, mhm, the lord give it and the lord can take it away. That doesn't make any sense."
Now, skip a news story and the same anchors begin smiling ear to ear when they do a story about the current Powerball which is at $700 million. In jubilant tones they wax and wane about how great it would be to win.
The same person in the room with me had their eyes glue to the Powerball story.
I know this person pretty well and they do nothing but wish for large sums of money to just magically manifest in their hands.
I don't understand this duality so many people seem to share. Where they pretty much curse the wealthy while at the same time want to be a wealthy person.
I'm sure I have acted like this at some point in the past but I can't remember it which is probably for the best. It's pretty F*cking gross.
To be so openly envious, so negative on such a toxic level toward strangers, is disgusting to me.
The media getting in on it just as off putting.
The fact they took time out of news just to shame a couple in the music industry just for funding their dwelling is sad.
The SCRIPT is real as F*ck.
I dunno.
How do you all feel about this behavior towards wealthy people?
