It's hard to find a successful pyramid scheme or bubble that I'm not upset I wasn't on the ground floor of. I'm also upset that I didn't win the lottery. It doesn't mean that I secretly think pyramid schemes, lotteries, and beanie babies are good, and that I'm naysaying them because I didn't get a piece. I would naysay them 10x as much if they had made me rich. I'd be rich and an authoritative source, who's going to stop me from talking shit about the things I dislike?
