I find it amusing that he posits that poor young men stay at home playing video games because the 1% have rendered status signaling worthless and then suggests, rather than a tax on yachts and private jets that we tax video games.

He then unsurprisingly posits that it would be pointless/a bad idea to raise wages coincidentally mirroring the opinion of just about every other member of the share owning 1%.

Well, his position makes perfect sense: he is a co-founder of Venmo, which was acquired in 2012 for 26 million dollars.

lol. his cut of that probably just about gives him about enough to play video games for the rest of his life, but not enough for any serious status signaling.
