How The Other 1 Percent Lives
-
I live a few blocks away from a really expensive seaside resort, and I've always wondered who the hell has the money to drop that much money on a stay there. And when the economy faltered and corporations came under fire for spending on lavish retreats and conferences, the answer was "not too many people." But now, those $800 per night rooms are booked solid, and I'm back to wondering who the hell spends like that. I mean, we go to that resort (it's mentioned in the article) for dinner on special occasions and we walk on the grounds sometimes, but we'll go in there and there are people all over the place and Teslas and Bentleys at the valet, and... yeah, you get a little class-warfare-ish about it.
