Will we liberal car nuts ever reconcile our love for these ultra cars with wealth inequality? https://t.co/Pdw52zLEdF

John Osborn, former NASA engineer, sees fancy cars as art.

Wealth inequality will always exist, and rich people will always own art. I’m glad that the super rich are preserving beautiful objects because merely observing them is better than them not existing. That said, the wealth thing needs to get rebalanced a bit for their own good.

Matt Farah, aka The Smoking Tire, sees it as still less expensive than a yacht.

Lastly, just in terms of scale, seeing a warehouse full of crazy collector cars is a visual shock of wealth, but a rough estimate of all the cars in this photo would buy, about, a single 125’ used motor yacht. Our secretary of education has nine yachts.

Eat the rich, seize their McLarens. It’s called wealth redistribution. Duh

Run the Joules sees union jobs.

Ferrari converts the wealth of capitalists into good paying union jobs. And lies to them about actual production figures.
