Isn't there something morally wrong with that?
Look at the price. For one meal, one fucking meal, something that could've cost almost nothing, they spent 100000€.
The price of a small house or apartment, while homeless people are dying in the cold. They could've changed a family's life forever, but they decided to drink champagne and eat whales.

Check this blog. Go through the pics. Don't tell me you're not feeling slightly disgusted.
Now I'm going to get called a communist or a leftie shill or whatever. But that's because /pol/'s ideology is based on disagreeing with leftists on every issue, no matter what your actual opinion is, you can't think the same as a leftist.
I however know that there are a few sensible people out there.
They're the ones invited to this thread.

Well... 90000€ went to 3 bottles of wine, if you disregard the expensive wine it looks reasonable. looks like a group of like maybe 7 people? (or does that 16 couvert mean 16 people) At a expensive resturant thats... well, pretty expensive anyway... Is that 12€ for a cup of tea?
Looks like a cozy venue though http://www.nikkibeach.com/destinations/beach-clubs/st-tropez/venue/
>>69599768
It's just that the idea of the price of an apartment ending up into literal piss the next day makes me want to puke. Doesn't it do that for you?
>>69599768
But yeah, that's 16 people and 12€ for 3 cups.

>>69599237
This kind of excess is disgusting. Not from an egalitarian position, but just from my normal conservative standpoint.
Just like that girl about a month ago who had her dad spend 6 million dollars on her 15th birthday party. It's revolting and generally a sign of societal decay.

we are ndefending parasites in that all animals are parasites youd be in the 1% in some countries youre not as wise as you thinjk you smart and benevolent liberal
You're totally not gonna believe this...
...but do you know why you don't happen to be friends with billionaires and walk around spending that kind of money on them like it's nothing?
It's because you don't walk around spending that kind of money on them like it's nothing.
That's how they know you're not a poseur looking for a leg up in the world.
As an old money, blue blood, New England WASP, I'm always slightly disgusted and embarrassed by the flashy, tacky, and gluttonous excesses of the nouveau riche.
In my family, we are taught modesty, humility, charity, and gratitude. Hence, these kinds of displays of one's wealth run counter to some of my core beliefs.
I want to attack it but I can't. Even if I was Trump rich, I wouldn't spend that much on a dinner. But if you've got it and want to spend it, feel free. I don't want someone telling me how to spend my shekels so I can't tell others how. It's foolish but it shouldn't be a crime.
>$10 for a coke
Agreed OP, this is disgusting
How much of that goes to a sales tax, I wonder.
>>69606307
Pretty much, it isn't wrong to spend money like this but it is at the very least it's own sub-type of cringe
It's the cringe you get when you see a guy waving his shit at someone less fortunate than he is when he didn't work for it. This would be different if the person in question actually earned their money but it's the Instagram of spoiled rich children who will probably waste their parent's legacy on a crack addiction

Here's the thing that gets me.
Liberals are constantly bitching about all of the ways that rich people just sit and collect massive piles of money and never do anything with it, so it just sits there in a bank account while people starve to death.
And then they turn around and bitch when the rich people spend it excessively in what is quite likely one of the fastest ways to redistribute it downward.
>>69606762
either way youre obviously authoritarian at heart and either way your opinions are incorrect because they are based on envy and emotion
I don't mind rich kids, they're the only ones who ever actually spend their parents money

>oh noes people spend "too" much money, and if they don't spend enough money, I will call them hoarders that don't contribute to the circulation in the economy instead.

Socialist countries (like mine) have higher income inequality than more free market countries. So before you start thinking government force is the solution to your "problem" it's not. Anyways, I don't really give a fuck, they waste their money on some retarded high price meal, so what? Take their money and give it to poorfags, all that will happen is that the poorfags will have no incentive to work and never learn the skills they need to eventually support themselves. Let them give their money to someone who actually works instead.
>tldr fuck you commie you're stupid
>>69607057
I don't really mind them because I know since they are raised in such an environment they grew up 95% of the time not being able to do anything for themselves and have no real skills.
This will eventually lead to them having financial troubles and spiraling into depression because let's face it, there are a lot of opportunists in the world who love impressionable rich kids who don't know the first thing about responsibility or handling money.
>>69599237
>10€ for a coca cola
>>69600096
The restaraunt invested by purchasing that wine from some vineyard.
It paid off because someone purchased that product from them.
This is capitalism, and rich people play a role in the economy just liked everyone else. In this instance, they helped a restaurant exist, which in turn helped the wine companies exist.
That maintains multiple jobs.
>>69599237
Is not that people spend money on that things that annoys me, in a way everything deserves their price in a way or another.
Is the people who do it in this case and by that i mean of course the offspring of people who might have actually worked for that money.
And thats ok too, but you look at them and they are just a bunch of vapid pieces of shit who will never understand why they spend 50k on a rolex except thats shiny, has rolex written on it and it has a price tag, they literally buy the most expensive thing in its category because they can, but never understand how much work and passion and history is in their ferrari.

I don't give a fuck if people waste money like that, but I don't get how that even happens. Who is profiting on $90,000 worth of wine? Is the restaurant profiting, or the wine producers or the vineyard or what? And do they charge that much just cause they feel like it, or do they use some means of production that requires expensive equipment or grow a variety of grapes that are expensive to maintain or something?
>>69608131
>>69599237
Also no, I don't think there is anything wrong with wasting money. Once you have it, so long as you got it legally, you have the right to do as you please, regardless if it's spending it on food or a house.
Hey, It was a good meal.

Here's a good test: how does a black person with money typically act? Like this or sensibly and frugally?
Then the question becomes: do I want to be more or less like a black person? Personally, I always choose the latter.
It's a wonderful guide for one's behavior that can apply in nearly any setting.

By spending that money, the money doesn't just disappear. Someone else receives that money - in this case the restaurant. By spending that money they are in effect employing the servers, the chefs, the restaurant owner, wine producers, food growers, etc etc. By spending that money, they are creating jobs, benefiting everyone in the economy.
This is economics 101
>>69606982
Yes, I'm sure the owners of the restaurant are the working class poor.
Get bent you apologist. Inb4 you say that this helps the poor because the restaurant purchases their food from poor people.
>>69608553
I make wine as a hobby, making good wine is hard. And I don't even grow my grapes. I think that most vineyards are justified around 20$ a bottle. Some of the best wines are certainly 50$ of labor. Of course, there are wines that cost more, and then it becomes a waste.
>>69608632
Yes, wine at a restaurant is incredibly marked up. Got to increase profit margin somehow.

Rich people are not hogging any scarce natural resources
>>69599708
Then stop bitching about those with money when you don't care about earning any.
>>69608632
No, but they do take the lion's share of it because the restaurant assumes the risk. Good vineyards (ie the ones that sell $50k bottles) probably get a chunk more than most vineyards because of name/brand.
A bottle of wine has to sit and age for some period of time. Then, you have to wait until some rich retards decide to spend $20k-50k on it. Meanwhile, all sorts of shit could happen at the restaurant that could potentially destroy the bottle before you recoup your investment.
It's kind of like a weird, legalized gambling.
>>69599237
This doesn't disgust me as much as I think these people are stupid for spending $90,000 on wine. For that amount of money there are a myriad of other, better things you could spend it on.
>>69599237

The second generation spends it,
The third generation blows it.

>>69608669
True, but somewhat disingenuous. You and I both know that the lion's share goes to enrich the restaurant owner. I somehow doubt the profits from his 10000% mark-up are being split at anything close to proportionally.
Rather, he simply has higher profit margins than the guy who owns the local McDonald's franchise.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with him making money. But don't act like he is somehow being any more altruistic and economically useful because he price gouges the rich and stupid.

But what's different about the wine they charge 50,000 euros for compared to the ones that cost less than 1% that price at the same restaurant? I get that some people buy the expensive stuff just because they want to spend money, but I assume there's still some difference that, if you really stretch the concept of justification, can "justify" it being that much more expensive. Is the more expensive wine something that they fermented for a few years like an anon said?

>>69608984
So the vineyard would get maybe a few k max, and then the restaurant gets the rest and their reasoning for charging that much more is that the expensive wine takes a really long time to age compared to other wine?
>>69609022
I've heard this before too. Coddled rich kids who grow up surrounded by money have no concept of its value, so burn through it like it's nothing.
>>69609095
It depends where the money goes, anon. I highly doubt that a lot of that money goes on the wages of the workers at that place. If it does then great, if it goes into the pocket of the owner then that's bad. The richer you are, the lower your marginal propensity to spend is. Give a poor person $1,000 and it'll be gone soon, give a billionaire $1,000 and it'll go under the mattress.

If you are rich today you are rich forever. If you are poor today you will pay so much in taxes thst you will never become rich.
Socialism accepts inequality and lack of mobility as hard, unalterable reality. Since poors gonna poor, the goal becomes making poor as comfortable as possible (but never rich)
>>69609333

Even though I hate that piece of shit Soros nobody on earth has the right to tell him what he can and can't do with his money as long as it does not break the law, period.
People have money, let them spend it however they damn well please. You can say they wasted it or spent it on something worthless but you can't say it's wrong for them to spend it on whatever degenerate thing they want
And yes, telling someone they are wrong for spending their money how they wish IS communist
>>69609598
No, unless they do some gimmicky bullshit. Fermenting grapes and making wine is not expensive.
This is all stuff you can live without , I just feel like they're idiots for showing off the retarded ways they spend their money. If that was mine, I'd make sure nobody even knew I existed.
>>69609519
This is true, spending is what fuels the economy. I still think it's a waste of money but oh well if these rich faggots want to blow $100k on one meal then who am I to judge them? It's shit like this that means these people don't stay rich. The ones who stay rich are the ones who spend their money responsibly.
>>69609607

>>69609044
So what? It's a transfer of wealth from one richfag to another. Would you have a problem with two rich people gambling with 100k on a poker game? It's the same thing, except in this case, multiple jobs are created and the economy benefits.
It doesn't matter if the restaurant owner is doing it out of self interest or altruism, jobs are created and everyone benefits anyway. That's the beauty of a free market economy.

>>69609607
>I wonder how their parents must feel that their children did nothing with their lives but be vapid materialistic cunts
nothing, most likely, because their fathers life consists of their job and sleeping, and their mother is most likely a socialite who doesn't care about anything except attention and appearances
it's probably a pretty miserable existence for a lot of these kids to be honest when it comes to family matters
>>69609520
Maybe in Canada.
In America I can get 6000 sqft on 9 acres 45 minutes outside of the metro area for 500k.
My parents live with me and babysit, all while paying $1000 per month in rent. The remaining $1600 is easy for me to pick up.
By the time I am 55 the house will be paid off and socialism will have taken root. The government will pay for everything and I will live in a mansion with land.
My children will inherit the house. They won't have to pay rent and the government t will cover their medical and education. They will have no expenses, any money they work for they can spend however they want.

>>69609927
>It doesn't matter if the restaurant owner is doing it out of self interest or altruism, jobs are created and everyone benefits anyway. That's the beauty of a free market economy.
Right, but what I'm saying is that unless the owner is reinvesting these massive profits back into his business, no more jobs are being created by spending 1,000 or 100,000 on a single meal. At some point, the job-creating utility of the customer's money plateaus.
>>69599237
so i'm supposed to spend my day looking at pictures of rich people and brood over how jealous i am of them ?
>>69599237
it all happened because the common people forgot how to hang, butcher and perform republican marriages. human nature is such that this will continue on forever, until the lower classes learn to keep the rich in constant terror. the many must not fear the few, the few must fear the many and the awesome designs of punishment that the hivemind can invent.
>>69606451
rich people don't pay taxes
>>69609854
Because that's my specific situation you retard
I'm a microbiology major, at best I'll be making 140k a year, at best.
But it's a step up from growing up in a family that managed on less than 40k a year.
You're one of those "1% are the evil boogeymen that made me poor and stupid"
For you to go ahead and generalize everyone like that despite there being examples of people inventing shit that made them millions shows how stupid you really are
>>69600096
It doesn't?
The employees at the restaurant get paid. The people who created and handled the food get paid. The business owner gets paid to create jobs.
It is a good thing that rich people are spending money because it directly flows to people who are less rich. That is how capitalism works.
>tfw you could pay for 1476 luxury whores with this money.

Top kek, if someone really worked their ass off for that money they would know its true value and thus would be hesitant to spend it in such a frivolous manner. Either they're trying to 'prove' something and think wasteful spending is how the upper classes operate or it's a second/third generation richfag with no concept of money blowing it all. Also 2/10 made me reply.

In practical terms it's better for the economy that these idiots exist to blow their money on shit like this, wealth redistribution. That's until we find out that this specific receipt was paid for by drug money, in which case it would make a lot of sense. Still, that money would now be legal and circulating in the economy.

Libertarianism is one of the most poisonous ideologies of the modern era.

If your government had a better education program, maybe you wouldn't be so goddamn illiterate as to not understand that I am condemning libertarians. That's why I said "you libertarian morons", you libertarian moron.
As to whether or not society is 'owed' by the rich members living within it, that's a philosophical problem. I'd say that society is, in fact owed, because it was society that allowed these rich people to attain their wealth in the first place. Additionally, there comes a point when money becomes no object to the ultra-rich that they begin to use it as simply a tool to attain political ends. That's when the unfettered collection of wealth becomes a hazard to society, and it is in society's best interest to restrict it.

True, but at the end of the day, spending 100k is better for the economy than keeping that 100k in the bank and cooking a meal themselves. Society benefited from this particular exchange of wealth, regardless of what percentage of that went to the owner who may or may not reinvest it.

This, this, and this. Talk about uncouth, plus this kind of behavior is why so few nouveau riches keep their money for multiple generations. Musicians and athletes are the worst and usually go broke in their own lifetimes, as opposed to just having their children squander their inheritance.
>>69600096
How does it end up into piss? The money went to the restaurant, which will go to the owner / employees and will be re-invested into the economy.
I agree it's glutinous and disgusting to spend money like that, but it's not completely wasted.

There's no such thing as job creation unless you've created an entirely new industry.
Job progression works like this:
New industry develops ---> Companies compete in marketplace ---> Monopoly forms
More Jobs <-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------> Fewer Jobs
The less efficient production is, the more people are needed and the more jobs exist. But inefficient production is expensive and costly. Companies do everything they can to reduce costs, and everything is fundamentally a labor cost once you travel all the way up the turtles. Competition results in labor cost reduction, and labor cost reduction involves reducing the amount of labor used, and that is the exact same thing as eliminating jobs.
When Walmart opens a store in your town, they are not creating jobs. They are destroying the many hundreds of jobs from smaller "mom and pop" stores in the area who cannot compete against Walmart's more efficient labor costs. Walmart gains a near monopoly in the town, and the town loses a few hundred jobs. Simultaneously, they gain access to much cheaper goods through Walmart.
>>69609817

Workers set the stones to build the restaurant, installed the electricity and maintain the building. Fishermen catch the premium fish and farmers breed premium meat. Wineries get grapes from grape farmers. The taxes the restaurant pays helps pay for public space such as roads, etc.

That's their money they earned, they have the right to spend it however they please. However, if they decided to donate that of their own free will to house the homeless, good on them. I make $2600 a month and I went into spokane a few weeks ago and bought 4 homeless people new clothes that fit them, gave them a shower, haircut/shave, and a warm bed for the night. That's what needs to happen, not stripping people of their hard earned cash. I had to save up to do that. I plan on doing it again soon in my hometown of nashville.

>Pissing away your money is less morally reprehensible then using it just to stockpile real-estate or gather interest. Prove me wrong.
I see what you're saying, but I disagree with the premise that stockpiling real-estate or gathering interest has no social utility.
With regards to real estate, home require a lot of maintenance and upkeep, which creates jobs in the working-class. They also typically carry massive property taxes, which goes towards useful and desirable thing like schools and roads.
With regards to interest-accumulation: money stuffed under a mattress doesn't accumulate interest. In fact, it loses value with inflation. Thus, to accumulate interest, you must invest it in some way. It goes without saying that investments are crucial in the creation of businesses, the development of technologies, etc...
I think its overindulgent and morally wrong. I don't see a problem with somebody who is wealthy living in luxury and spending $10000 on a fucking meal? That's too fucking much senpai, it's disgustingly decadent.
And 20 bucks for a coke?

and those yacht makers and car manufacturers spend that money somewhere else, all while employing workers at their factory, who spend that money somewhere else and employ more people, and on and on and on.
The extremely wealthy people who spend their money aren't the problem. After you tax them that's basically charity at that price.

Surprisingly yes. People just like to assume those who have done better (Jews, in /pol/'s case) are all, without exception, evil people who have stolen their success from "real" people, like them, who are consequently in the "hero" role in their own story.
It's one of the things you notice about people, especially in the West--we have a very hard time accepting the reality of the bell curve. Most people are average--hence why it's the average. And in a world where only the exceptional get praise or ingrained as the schema of "good" it leads to a lot of anguish from the cognitive dissonance you experience when reconciling your mathematically average potential against the message you are constantly given about how special you are, as an individual, and how much you "deserve" this that and the other because life is like The Office: successful people are all lazy, stupid thieves who play golf all day.
