&gt; There is an entire league of entrepreneurs out there doing things that aren&#x27;t as well-publicized but still very fundamentally important to our society and how it works.<p>I&#x27;ll happily agree to that.<p>&gt; And your ignorance of the fact is probably that you never stop to talk to some of the business owners in your area, and see what they&#x27;re planning.<p>You&#x27;re incredibly funny.<p>&gt; As for buying mansions and yachts, you can&#x27;t tell me that 
&gt; that&#x27;s any different than you buying the latest iPhone or 
&gt; car when you already have a perfectly usable phone.<p>&gt; Hell, we could all be getting by with Nokia 3350s if we really 
&gt; want to take that argument there. 
&gt; We don&#x27;t really need color screens, or internet in our pockets.
&gt; It&#x27;s really just a convenience after all, and there are many less
&gt; fortunate out there in 3rd world countries without phones at all.<p>I&#x27;d have bought another one if they let me but I&#x27;m still on the nokia dumb phone that I bought 5 years ago and I probably will be as long as it works. I have some smart phones lying around for development and testing (ubuntu, an android phone and an older iphone), but I have never felt the need to carry one with me when I go out the door.<p>&gt; Here&#x27;s where we begin to argue about what poverty means and what &#x27;filthy rich&#x27; means. They aren&#x27;t clearly defined.<p>We&#x27;re all filthy rich.<p>&gt; I&#x27;m for people who earn money, fairly and legally, using it however they see fit. If they want to build space ships, awesome. If they want to buy yachts, awesome.<p>Sure. But the space ships are a tad more impressive to me than the yachts.
