We live in a cynical age, but I am not naturally a cynical person. Let’s spend a little time showcasing a proper way to be wealthy.

“I got some serious burns from a gasoline fire. I am ok. Just need a week or two to get back on my feet,” the TV show host told The Times in a statement.
People first reported on Leno’s “serious medical emergency” after he canceled his Sunday appearance at a conference in Las Vegas.
TMZ reported Monday morning that Leno had suffered a serious burn injury to his face from a sudden car fire and was being treated at Grossman Burn Center in West Hills. His condition was not released.
Leno, the former host of NBC’s “The Tonight Show,” is a classic car enthusiast known for his extensive automobile collection.
He currently hosts “Jay Leno’s Garage,” which streams on Peacock. He also would make regular appearances on the Speed Channel’s show “My Classic Car,” where he would walk viewers through his collection and take some of his collectible cars out for a spin.
Leno is known to regularly work on his cars in his Burbank garage. Burbank police did not respond to the incident, a spokesperson for the department said.
That garage is famous among car aficionados. Rumor has it, Leno even has a jet turbine-powered motorcycle. While a terrible design, not least for the liability regarding its exhaust pipe gases upon tailgaters, the gyroscopic forces allowed the bike to remain upright even when stopped at a traffic light. So I’ve been told.
Leno actually rides it on occasion. And other extreme rides, too, so this headline does not surprise me.
Jay Leno is okay by me. He’s legitimately rich, meaning 1. he earned his money honestly, 2. he does stuff with his money and 3. maintains a sense of humor.
Modern plutocrats from Pelosis and Zuckerbergs down to the Silicon Valley multimillionaires, they… they don’t do anything. They buy real estate and yachts and other rich-boy toys, but they never DO anything interesting. They just recycle the money into getting more money, maybe snuff out some innocent lives while they’re about it… hence the paramilitary squads of bodyguards… and at the end of life, which many of them are now reaching, all they have is a hollow soul and some scientific notation on a bank statement.
It’s like they’re carnival hucksters who despite succeeding at an incredible level, would still kick a puppy and steal a child’s lunchbox. Their minds are so dim that all they can think to do with all that money is burn it… which raises the question of how people like that are the ones amassing all the wealth.
Simple: theft. When your skillset is stealing or taking bribes then, no matter how much you have, you will look at your neighbor and wait for dusk. Why else does a Bezos torment his employees when it’s not even profitable?
REAL rich people are able to enjoy their wealth. Having made it by risk, work and/or creativity, one would expect that attitude to follow them into the golden age of retirement.
Multimillionaire Jay Leno got gasoline burns, why? Because he actually plays with his toys! He got burnt because he was under that car hood. He didn’t hire mechanics to maintain the cars he doesn’t ride in the museum he never visits.
And three, Leno can take a joke. The wealthy-by-envy types cannot. One would expect as much for a comedian but it still must be said. Especially jokes about his jawline. You probably never followed the extreme sport of robot combat but back in the days of a TV show called Battlebots, Leno sponsored one of them. With his face.
Behold! The Chin-killa!

None of the Cabal’s emotionally insecure plutocrats would ever put their mug on a motorized sledgehammer to be mangled in the Coliseum. A quick primer on Battlebots:
He once had a joke about the amount of millionaires in congress with the line, see crime does pay.
Now it would be billionaires and some of those are still there after Leno is in retirement.
I liked him best on Doritos commercials during the ’80s&early ’90s about being sent to your room by parents when you are rocking&rolling with video games in your room!

I couldn’t find the right one though.
