      1/ as with the idiotic Chelsea Clinton who said "I've never worried about wealth" without realizing that she was SIGNALLING HOW !@#-ING RICH AND POWERFUL SHE WAS, even contemplating saying "I disdain mere things" is an implicit claim to huge wealthhttps://twitter.com/sonyasupposedly/status/1286058348815630336 …

      this tiresome argument about what counts as "violence" is actually elites countersignaling by pretending that they'd be fine with it if commies destroyed their stuff I am arguably part of "elites" but rest assured, I will be apoplectic if you mess with my things https://twitter.com/willwilkinson/status/1285941682865938433 …

      2/ "If doesn't upset me if someone breaks my car" ...because I have three others, plus a cell phone I can use for Uber, plus credit cards, plus good credit, plus a HELOC. I'd Uber or rent for a month until I got around to buying a new one / insurance paying off.

      3/ Contrast that to someone making $12/hr and driving a 14 year old car with a bad muffler. If that car gets burned in riots, it's gonna be a month until insurance pays off (if it does), and he's gonna lose his $12/hr job in the meantime.

          4/ The bigger the item that you can afford to lose, the richer you are. No one WANTS their house to burn down, but if you can decamp to your second house on Martha's Vineyard, or that darling little farm in Vermont, or a pied a terre in Paris, it's quite survivable.

          5/ Neal Stephenson had a good bit in Cryptonomicon where a protagonist's house burns down or something, and his cousins take him in and try to live really cheap on Slim Jims as they roadtrip ... because they assume that your house / trailer = 100% of your wealth

          6/ ...and not just one instantiation or embodiedment of something much more abstract and shadowy.

          I've actually had good luck explaining to someone why I'd shoot someone for trying to screw with my car by explaining how much of my time it took to get the money to buy it it wasn't $5,000, it was ~350 man hours at the time

          which was obviously wayyyyyy longer in real time considering most of that money earned had to go to other expenses

          I had to deal with damage to my car due to a break in. I'm lucky that I could take time off of work to deal with insurance - and it took me a month to get an appointment with them - and afford to pay for repairs that insurance didn't cover. Insurance paid ~1/3 of what I had to.

          For me it was just a pain in the ass and I could afford the repairs, but for someone who needs a car for work and can't take time off to suit the insurance company schedule, it would be a huge problem.
