Why Are People So Concerned About How Others Spend Their Money?

It's really tiring. Audiophools, Snake Oil, why buy this/that. I don't give a rip what others do, although I like to read about it but none of my business. I'm just not geared that way. People want to buy a Lambo, 10,000 buck cables, 100,000 buck loudspeakers, it's no skin off my nose yet some people are obsessed with what others do. I don't get it.

To pay thousands and thousands more to get a lousy 1 to 3 percent increase in "better" (subjective) sound is Lunacy....a lot of it is based on huge over inflated Egos, and trying to "keep up with the Joneses", rather than the pursuit of a qualitative increase in sound. JMO, don't kill me.

I forgot the 3.00 dollar tip.. 10.00 dollars for a donut and a cup of mudd. It would almost buy 2 gallons of fuel. Only in America, ain't it wonderful. Become a billionaire over selling coffee and donuts. If I could sell BS the way some do, I'd be a trillionaire. BTW We are gonna stop the virus, not the economy. Sure you are, ME TOO. Where is that orange guy. The real problem with BOTH. Neither has a DOG, something is wrong with that. What presedents didn't have dogs. One had an alligator! Merry Christmas
