It's like when you send your grocery concierge to buy milk, which is like... $90 a gallon. --Jack Donaghy
OfficialBenderRodriguez
"A gallon of milk costs... I don't know, 90 dollars?"
CaptSchmidtGaming
greatest idea ever
thekingandqueenofcheese
I always say thing when somebody ask how much something is

Reminds me of a fav episode of The Ten Minute Podcast. Trust me, it's worth a listen. https://soundcloud.com/tenminpod/tmp-garth-brooks
TheSourceChode
Yeah fuck Romney for being an out of touch white millionaire, let's vote for a BILLIONAIRE INSTEAD.
Prized
Such a quality show
CommanderWilliamTRiker
I miss Mitt :(
Stratego89
YES. This NEEDS to happen. Invite Trump.
myeyebrowsarewhack
Always up vote the bluths. Always.
Dragavnir
In France we recently had a runner for presidency who tried to guess a croissant's price. He guessed it 10x less than it actually was...
tikimiki
20 cents?
Dragavnir
15, actually.
CherryEmpress
My dad has the reverse of this condition, where he thinks everything is WAY cheaper than it is. "Need to buy a new winter coat? Here's $10."
wadenelson1
I've gotten GoreTex stuff at thrift stores for that kind of big money.
CherryEmpress
For the record he himself is a CEO who wears Armani suits, so it's not that he's broke. Just pays no attention to what things cost.
Naiirita
So... you single? Or is your dad single? I'm not picky, just broke.
CherryEmpress
Alas no, and also I'm broke as fuck. My dad is wealthy but not generous.
UraniusCrack
what do yoo mean? He gave you 10 dollars for a new winter coat!
Iamnotacreativeman
Actually there's a tax return page out there and Mitt Romney is actually the least rich
divedeeper
He's a Mormon so he gives a % right off the top to the church
SoMenSayThatImIntenseOrImInsane
And he gave a ton more to charity than anyone anticipated. Far more than would make sense for tax breaks.
petrie911
That's Mormonism for you.
SomeCrazyNerd
Compared to who?
MagicSquid
Other white guys with their own island resorts. Poor Mitt can only afford 9 holes of golf on his island.
SomeCrazyNerd
Which white guy? Nobody claimed he was the richest.
Mutamn
Bill Gates, Donald Trump, and Warren Buffet also need to be on that show.
ShamelessOToole
Gates knows what it was like to be poor.
monkeymuffins
His name is William Henry Gates III. His parents were millionaires.
RosegoldEverything
Parents' wealth isn't automatically their children's wealth.
MaxLuster
I feel like Bill Gates is more down to earth then many other rich people.
weedbratton
Then many other people in general
MaxLuster
I guess it depends on how you are judging them. I mainly said that because Bill Gates has done a lot of great things.
TakWriterOfWorlds
Gates and Buffet at least have middle class backgrounds.
WTBGold
Bill Gates' parents were wealthy lawyers, bought him a porche, and paid for him to go to Harvard.
TakWriterOfWorlds
So...upper middle class then.
dngrslycheesy
As long as they don't get to play plinko. They don't deserve that kind of joy.
LaserDolphin
MY FAVORITE!!
DocEternal
I swear, 20 years ago, skipping school and watching that show, my biggest dream was getting on there and getting to play Plinko with Bob.
MisterDictionary
If you're rich or handy enough, you can build your own version of Plinko. You can use it to decide where to go out to eat on dates.
kermie92
Hersheypark has Plinko as one of their prize games. I squealed with joy as I played it & won my nephew a stuffed animal.
dngrslycheesy
Was that Hersheypark reference up in here? Heck ya! +1. How bout a little sesame place? Right?!
kermie92
I've never been to Sesame but I've passed nearby it!
SomeDetroitGuy
When Mitt Romney was running for President, they did the "How much do groceries cost" thing. He was really close to what they cost at Kroger
bensiskointhehouse
Wonder how much coaching he had beforehand for that. (not that there's anything wrong it, I'd be surprised if they didn't)
WhatUpIGotABigHawk
If it were any politician but mitt I'd agree that they were coached. Mitt is notorious for shopping at Costco and budgeting.
petrie911
Rich people buy food too, you know.
Dispari
I cook 5 nights a week and go to the grocery once a week, and I don't know how much milk and eggs cost. =(
OfficialSponsor
How dare you!!
Dispari
I can tell you about how much I spend with each trip (usually $160-180) but I don't pay attention to individual prices.
SomeDetroitGuy
$3 for a gallon of milk, $2 for a loaf of bread or a dozen eggs. Then they called him out of touch by comparing prices at Whole Foods for
SomeDetroitGuy
the high end organic stuff.
myr14d
I once knew a guy from a super rich family in middle school. I got to teach him what 'cents' were.
notamurder
Was he confused when he heard a 50 cent song?
GentlemanScientist
Had an acquaintance who refused to split a tenner, if anything cost less than that he left it as a tip.
GentlemanScientist
When he went to any bar he made sure to buy the largest, most expensive bottle of champagne, and have the bartender pour it down the drain.

GentlemanScientist
Jupp, sorgligt men sant.
internetlurker24
Sounds kinda douchey
GentlemanScientist
No "kinda" about it. His dad had money, he had a need to show it off.
RosegoldEverything
Literally why
GentlemanScientist
Took me a while to get my head around that too, I think it's to announce that he can afford it with plenty to spare.
RosegoldEverything
That makes sense. Jesus, though, surely there are better ways to demonstrate possession of excessive amounts of currency.
vurcease
It doesn't bother me that ridiculously-rich people exist. It bothers me that they are representing my interests at all gov't levels.
webimgur
You mean like the obamas and the clintons and the kennedys and the johnsons and carters? Huh?
jeandolly
Money buys influence buys money. Its a vicious circle in all societies and only stops when people unite and take action.
Karilyn
That's funny because you think they are representing your interests *cue laugh track*
vurcease
Yeah, right? I guess my phrasing was more an attempt to quote their job description than the implementation of their power. Ugh.
RoyFuckingMustang
I'm not sure why more people aren
RoyFuckingMustang
....'t disturbed by this.
WorthEveryPenny
That's what happens when running for office is won by money fights. No publicly funded campaigns? No middle class representatives
vurcease
I'm ready to vigorously support any candidate from any party here in the US that sincerely wants to get money out of politics.
ionlycamehereforthis
spicepoet
But,but it's an elected term of service by the common citizen... Yeah i got nothing. The Citizens United case really screwed us.
vurcease
It did. It broke us bad.
LoganDodson
Or shaping our policies to accumulate more wealth at the expense of everyone else?
webimgur
Please explain how obama's 60 million dollars came out of your pocket.
LoganDodson
I am sorry, I don't understand what you are referencing. Explain ????
Opportunist
I don't think they're representing OUR interests. Just theirs.
LavaAxe
What really? Why wouldn't they look after the best interests of the average dude/dudette?
TheClayKnight
Is that a serious question or a humorous one?
stilev
There was so much sarcasm leaking from that post I got my hands qet
vurcease
Agreed. Their goals don't match their job descriptions.
OfficerBaconBits
Then vote and campaign for someone you want and stop complaining. All of you. The system only works if you vote them in
vurcease
I did. I spent both effort and money and it did nothing. Not giving up but it's pretty disparaging.
ChameleonFacedGoon
Or... the system is so broken fundamentally broken that voting isn't the solution
OfficerBaconBits
Easy there edgelord. Voting works, our current president is proof that the establishment can't force their way into office. A cheeto won
SomeCrazyNerd
Who said they didn't vote?
OfficerBaconBits
Alot havent. Source some info on some black block arrestees and it's sad. Only half of all possible voters voted in the presidential in 2016
OfficerBaconBits
The president impacts you the least of all governments you can vote on and gets the highest percentage of voter turnouts. Most don't vote
akalien
Same, I don't really care about the gap between the 3% and everyone else but the fact that they make the rules if worrying
TracyAllenParks
but that's how you become part of the 3%. in many cases, the only way.
ICantFeelMyToes
So the fact that 50% of Americas wealth is owned by .5% of the nation isn't worrisome to you?
eviscera
It's the fact that ONLY they get to make the rules.
Cere4l
and how they probably wouldnt be THAT rich if they hadnt.
pravetz
Maybe that's going a bit far. I'd prefer that maybe they have to pay the same tax rate on their investment earnings that I pay on my salary.
dokpsy
I feel like that would disenfranchise them from pushing money into the economy instead of hording even more than they already do.
vurcease
I don't think it would discourage them. They want to grow their money, which means investing.
dokpsy
Not if they grow more on interest than roi
KnucleheadFlow
Oh no we wouldn't want to upset the rich people. If we don't play by their rules they'll take their toys and go home!
zombozo666
Fucking hell finally someone said it
dokpsy
Without their toys, we lose a lot of our playthings. Like medical research that leads to cures or treatments. Or maybe your job. 1/
HighFunctioningAlcoholic
At some point they will though... At some point taxes make working 70-80 hours a week not worth it.
seventhson74
Screw that, I want to see Barbara Streisand use a port-a-poty after a full weekend at Lollapalooza...
1Plebian
That's my fetish
SqueakShow
I most certainly do not want to see that O_o
justthoughtyousholdknow
Make it a Kardishian and yes!

jennlyn
Barbara Streisand is a bad ass and would do it with Grace and elegance. She a boss ass bitch
pleaseallowmyselftointroducemyself
I once worked for an exec who had a list of pre-reqs when staying at a hotel. Hotel said Streisand was the only person with a (1/2)
pleaseallowmyselftointroducemyself
bigger list, and her list included installing a new toilet seat. Needless to say he was an a-hole, and sounds like she might be too.
Cambino
Um, why? I specifically took drugs to avoid using those shit coffins. That and because, you know, drugs are fun.
ilovelucyloo
Taking Imodium before festivals is the only way.
Cambino
Yes. Imodium is what I took. Definitely.
BorderlineBoozehound
I mean, Imodium and heroin work on the same receptors.
