Tom is hilarious and 100% insufferable, so weak.
Not rich, or wealthy, but I am in those circles, similar to Succession, not all the time, or exactly qualified, but plenty of people who have that kind of life to a degree. Wealthy families, political families, people who are members of those kinds of families.
I was doing a deal, and my boy was going to get me 5 m's, on a handshake deal, I had that level of respect with him. My homie came in, it was his business plan for marijuana dispensaries, and I was trying to tell him how to move when we were doing the deal. Don't go do blow and chase women with those guys, we are going home. You aren't them, and can't pretend to be.
People like that will never respect you if you act the way Tom did. Weak, passive. Actually, I knew a guy like that, in their circle, and this dude literally carried their fukking bags getting off the plane. He was their age, their buddy, but no money, no power. This quote will stay with me, that shyt gave me chills.
"He doesn't say anything about that?"
He doesn't have the money to say anything
and my homie held a lot of very American thinking about the rich, and when he spent more time with them, I could tell he was disillusioned, and he said something like "So no matter what happens, this deal, or that deal, or whatever, J and E will be fine, they will always be fine" and I was like "maybe you don't like rich people as much as you thought bro"
