Lamborghini, California house… How about “I need surgery” or “I want to go to college.” That’s a grain or two of rice, but most people don’t even have one. It’s gross that we worship these people.
Well yes and no. I assume most (if not all) of Europe has free health care and in most part also free higher education. The joke is how expensive those things actually are, which we wouldn’t know because we don’t pay for it (at least not directly), but the not joke part is that they actually know how much things cost because that’s the sad reality in the US. At least that’s what I’ve read, I don’t actually know the intricacies of their health care, I just know some people skip going to the doctor because it’s going to cost them a fortune.
