Fair enough, I suppose it really changes your view on money (though I notice that super rich people I know are actually less generous in general). For me $1k would really be a lot especially just for someone to shut up.

What is a dollar worth to you? Stupid question, right? A dollar is a dollar. How about a penny? Would you bother to pick up a penny? How about a million pennies? If you're making $10 million/yr, $1k to get someone to buzz off is cheap.

The inequalities of capitalism are gross, but while we're here, that's the way the world works.
