Certain folks identify their personal value is solely their power to go out and acquire crap. “Look how impressive I am! I can pay a thousand times more for a precious metal can than everyone else can. I’ll have it sit on my shelf and remind me how awesome my money power makes me.”

Sad-ball douchebags.

I don’t want to hate them though, takes too much energy. They’re just annoying.

At least, I imagine they are. I don’t know anyone that’s into this stuff. Can’t say I’d want to be around a person that values that sort of thing.
