A response to the article from a former New York employee. http://www.theawl.com/2009/04/rich-people-things
Some of the comments are amusing...
davidwatts: I personally don’t know any Sysco drivers making 100 to 300 grand.
kitten_witawip: I guess they never learned how to let things fall off their trucks.
hockeymom: I had a conversation with someone bemoaning the fact that it wasn’t “fun” for her husband to be a hedge fund manager anymore and he was going to retire (at age 44). When I pointed out it wasn’t ”fun” to lose our 401ks and college funds, she said “The problem is that people like my husband are too smart. It’s not his fault that the government set up a system where really smart people can make a lot of money and people who aren’t as smart are the regulators. It’s not like he broke any laws, or anything.”
SarahHeartburn: Did you hurt your hand when you hit her?
