Man, we all know there are no such things as friggin sharks with lasers on their heads. (There are black swans, but let's ignore that for the sake of the rhetoric)

Really? So you have blinkers on when it comes to new ideas? Like, tell Edison to go somewhere else - somewhere they go to bed early and get up early 'cos that is what the sun does?
Actually, I like the 'tone' aspect of your argument. Can I steal it?
'Wealth', as in how many Yankee dollars you have is relative. I understand all the arguments about absolute wealth, and it is true that my parents (and I) are absolutely wealthier than 60 years ago.

To be fair, POTUS is one of the most important people in the World. His team should be reading news.ycombinator.com for many (I would have thought, obvious) reasons.
