>how do these people consistently survive their self-inflicted disasters?
There's a lot of good answers here. One supplement I would make to a few of them is it is harder to fire or punish someone the more they resemble you. A lot easier to see the fault in a woman a couple of rungs down than a guy your age who looks a lot like you and you've had beers with for a decade. The (truly) wealthy aren't like me and you. And in a crisis you'll find out how they're different real quick.
- lazide 2mo agoWell that, and leverage/manipulation, and spending all their time figuring out how to scapegoat everyone else convincingly. It’s definitely a set of skills.
- johnnyanmac 2mo agoYeah. It ultimatly comes down to "we protect our own". And no about of number examples of "how much is a billion" can truly prepare someone for how utterly different a hundred-millionaire or above fundamentally thinks from even the "high-class worker". No matter how big a wizard/rockstar, they can't truly compare to a dragon.
