It’s harder to thread a camel through the eye of a needle than for a wealthy man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Also rich is a semantic example to me being rich is to wear the crown of humanity. This along with tensor calculus is beyond all but a tiny minority of the rich (ive lost the will to live)
the majority of which inherit wealth and are blindly taught of their superiority in public schools (prep) for you in the us. I am scottish and soaware of my ancestors like adam smith without which your country would not have the legal rights ingrained in your constitution . However
