Wealth Is What You Don’t See
Money has many ironies. Here’s an important one:
Wealth is what you don’t see
My time as a valet was in the mid-200os in Los Angeles, when material appearance took precedence over everything but oxygen.
If you see a Ferrari driving around, you might intuitively assume the owner of the car is rich- even if you’re not paying much attention to them. But as I got to know some of these people I realized that wasn’t always the case.

Why don’t school buses have seatbelts?
School buses are designed in a compartmentalized fashion, that is the seats are close together with high backs, which keeps passengers relatively restrained in a crash, even without seat belts.

Brandon merely asked if Steve would be willing to share the recipe so that he and his wife Rina Jones, 38, could prepare it for her when they went to visit.

I don’t care that you didn’t create these issues. Stop playing the victim card, and do something about it.
