FoolyCharged posted:Even an animal that costs thousands shouldn't be considered as something the bank can seize. But in this case, you'd be freeing it from Alex Jones, so... Alex was asked to list his assets and he put his cat on that list so he could later make a scene about the bank trying to take his cat.

Mr. Nice! posted:What happens to the non-dischargeable judgments following liquidation? Do they get to hold the balance over Jones' head? That's my understanding but non-dischargeable debts is only an individual debtor thing and I don't know there's ever been such a big non-dischargeable verdict so I don't even really know how that works.

The courts will never make him pay those families. They'll drag their feet on this the way they do with all rich white men. This really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. I do believe the families will be paid; I just don't believe it will happen before his inevitable rage-induced heart attack/stroke.

The Bible posted:Money does buy happiness Money doesn't really buy happiness, but it buys security, which is necessary for happiness. Some rich people decide to be miserable. Notch is our favorite example of it not buying happiness. In this case, if the court agrees to the liquidation, it's taking away Alex's security. He'll have to start worrying if he can pay the bills to keep what he has, much less buy the things he wants.

However it is all a stunt to make him the victim however, he won't have to sell the cat (but hopefully it runs away and finds a better home)

Real Elon or not, Alex proved Ike’s point in a very public way Alex seems to me like a sociopath, and a lot of sociopaths get what they want with incredible flattery and charm. The problem with someone like Alex is that he also has an oversized ego, so when he was trying to flatter Icke by saying how right he was, he couldn't bring himself to admit that he could therefore be wrong and should reconsider his support of Musk. And then this Dittmann character appeared and Alex went whole hog on ignoring Icke, showing that Alex has no loyalty.

Notch is our favorite example of it not buying happiness. Notch is unhappy because he chose to gently caress over everyone who helped him get rich. He could have used his money to make them rich too. You don't have to buy happiness, but speaking as someone who grew up dirt poor, it absolutely can buy happiness. Call it security, call it freedom, but not having to worry about retirement, food, housing, education, basic healthcare, etc. immensely boosts your happiness. I might reword it to say that money doesn't buy happiness, but poverty definitely buys misery. Rich people can be miserable too, but they have the means to at least try and remedy it without destroying themselves financially. Whether they do that or not is up to them, but having the choice is nice. The Bible fucked around with this message at 04:06 on Feb 22, 2024 |

Frank Frank posted:Security and a sense of safety 100% buy happiness and money provides both. Absolutely agree (as someone else who grew up super poor). I wish I could pull up the study but I can't recall where it was. It was basically trying to figure out how much money is required to be "happy." Turns out it was surprisingly little per year. Enough that people could provide nice/comfortable food and shelter and healthcare reliably, with enough left over to pursue interests. That was it. Once that was achieved, there wasn't much difference. So if peak happiness was at $120K per year or something, there wasn't much difference between that and 500K. There was also little to no difference between 500K and 5M and so on.

Carth Dookie posted:I wish I could pull up the study but I can't recall where it was. I recall vaguely reading that it eventually becomes an addiction to having money and having the amount increase. No one ever needs 10 million, certainly not several hundred billion. There's nothing someone like Musk can't buy (except obvious poo poo like a dinosaur, I guess), but it isn't about having sufficient money for people like that. It's just about that number getting bigger. I wonder how much growing up obscenely rich affects a person. Never really needing to work for anything, having your entire life, cradle to grave, paid for in advance. Anything you do work/train for is easier thanks to financial cushioning and parental contacts, and if you fail at it, whatever, you're still set for life. If you hate the job you got into, you can just quit. You don't need it. A failed business or career would be a minor setback to you, not the life-destroying catastrophe it would be for most other people. If one or both of your parents get busted for drugs, the police don't smash down your door and beat the poo poo out of them before roughly shoving them into a police cruiser to later be released in am unsupervised facility where they will be beaten and tortured by both other prisoners and the guards, they go to rehab in some luxurious treatment facility. It sounds fantastic, but having not lived it, I wonder how it affects a person when you literally cannot want/need for a single thing ever. I know the families can be pretty hosed up, but that's a thing with poor people too, magnified by financial stresses, so I don't feel like it really belongs in the domain of "rich people problems". At the very least, even if your family relationships are all a mess, at least you can afford therapy to help cope with it. The Bible fucked around with this message at 05:06 on Feb 22, 2024 |

Does Alex even actually have access to that cat? He said it was his kids' cat and I thought the divorce was extremely acrimonious and he got basically no custody.
