Rich people's problems are very, very, very low compared to your problems, and decent rich people wouldn't try to equate them to yours. If they do, they are ignorant or selfish. But that doesn't mean they have NO problems, or that they don't need to worry about them in order to take care of them.

If you were grading worries on a scale of 0 to 100, just because 90 is way, way, way more than 3, that doesn't mean 3 is 0 or that it's remotely helpful to anyone to behave as if 3 was 0. All it does is make you look like an idiot. Just like rich people look like idiots when they behave as if 3 was 90. Behave as if 3 is 3 and 90 is 90.

Seriously, how hard is this? Just act with some kind of modicum of logic. Your problems >>>> rich people's problems. Rich people's problems =/= no problems.

Uh what? You have no idea what anyone's problems are, how could you say they are worse? I'm poor, I struggle bill to bill, but I get by and I'm more or less happy. I get bitter when my paycheck runs out, but I don't think I have more problems than, say, some who got raped, family or best friends are dying, suffers drug addiction, has cancer, any number of very serious problems that have nothing to do with money.

I mean, holy crap. Normally I'd be on the "cry moar rich people" end of this conversation, usually in regards to obnoxious stupid politicians or ignorant asshole businessmen. But to actually, honestly assume anything about anyone's problems? fuck no. Yes, the money can help with a lot of problems, and they don't have the same survival anxieties that poor people face. but how about we don't make assumptions about anyone's lives or problems.

Well, it's comforting to know that having money automatically downgrades all your problems to a 3, whether it's your grandma's Alzheimer's disease, your dad's inoperable cancer, or your kid's eating disorder.

I'm not denying any of that, I'm just disagreeing with the implication that money makes these problems trivial--which is what seems to be implied by saying that on a scale of 0 to 100, rich people's problems are automatically a 3.
