Amazing to imagine the kind of people that fly first-class. As someone who works in a startup and isn't rich but comfortable, I don't see why you would pay >$80

Amazing to imagine the kind of people that fly first-class. As someone who works in a startup and isn't rich but comfortable, I don't see why you would pay >$8000 more just for a comfier seat. I'm sure your perceptions change as your money pile gets larger, but I can't think of much that's more wasteful of resources.
- summitsummit 13y agoI hypothesize that once you have more money than you realize you or your next generation will ever be able to spend, you stop looking at things in terms of financial soundness. Comparatively, an 8k price for a nicer seat is probably like choosing between a walmart brand pasta versus a nicer brand pasta to a millionaire; the price difference just makes no difference to them, just the comfiness of the chairs.
