CNBC recently published an article called "Gadgets for the 'One Percent'" spotlighting some of the most extravagant, ornate, and exquisite items in the tech world, from a $2,800 pair of leather-and-wood sound-isolating headphones from Ultrasone to a $2 million personal submarine from Hammacher Schlemmer.
Some of these items are expensive for the sake of being expensive, like a $1 million Luvaglio laptop that can only be unlocked with a fitted diamond.
On the more practical end -- key word "more" -- is the $8,400 Samsung SUR40, a touchscreen desktop computer that's actually a desktop. Or how about the 60 megapixel Hasselblad H4D camera, or the $58,000 Red Epic-M video camera that can shoot at 96 frames per second.
There's even a $10,700 Vertu Signature cell phone that comes with an OnStar-esque "concierge service" and ringtones played by the London Symphony Orchestra. So, we've got to ask: which item is the most ridiculous of them all?

Drink! Drink! DRIIIIIIIINK!
I could go on and on....
that is how socialism has been defined privatize the profits socialize the liabilities. it is a fraud and scam on the people and is bad. this is not christain at all considering this country the usa was founded on the idea that the people are largly christian and some gov officials sometimes in public say they are christians. folks this is not how christians behave so don't let it throw you off teh bible. istrealites were punished for such behavior eventually. you reap what you sow.
now a question I have is does anyone know ...

now a question I have is does anyone know if the wealthy elites have their own private internet? you know they have their own only the super rich have access to and the rest of the population has the other? just wondering if they might have their own satellties and private phones that even the govenrment can't access. just curious.
