She's got him. Worth noting: I got to the end thinking I was reading a description of Trump. Both of them may be rich and powerful. Neither seems the least bit happy.

@Professor_Stevens His reply to her was also highly Trumpian in tone. (And consequently, extremely unconvincing.)

He really can't take it, can he? And that stuff about "making far more than one consumes" is almost literally lifted from Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged," the bible of the wealthy sociopath.

I may not be rich, but I think I'm in a better mood tonight than he is.
