It makes one ponder the weird, old cultural myth that being rich is a sign of God's favor. I had a youthful revelation, that the City Hall-connected developers who stole my grandfather's 2 1/2 acres (acres!) in the geographical (view!) center of San Francisco via "Redevelopment" condemnation, were not smarter, harder-working or more virtuous than my grandfather. That it is an old, old story doesn't make it right, but I'm not sure it's intentional to hurt. It's just business, and opportunity, but psychopathic in the indifference to harm. But see the worshippers of Trump, because somebody rich must be smart and know how to do what they slavishly believe must be good! They utterly don't get the part that it's only good for their diety, and they can just lie down for him to walk on.
