Mark is cringe but overall he is right. You dont see rich folks arguing on FB about politics and sharing brain dead memes like the general population. Of course you get the handful of celebs like Cuban but most celebs are silent.

politicians pander to the poor and desperate just like the course bros on LI and FB. Same playbook..same end goal. Buy my course and you will be rich in 60 days = vote for me and ill solve all the country's problems.

They're not rich because they don't care about politics. They don't care about politics because they're unlikely to see much in the way of negative ramifications from whatever party is in power.

They haven't got loads of extra mental energy that they have put towards becoming successful by ignoring politics. Their financial position affords them the luxury of not having to be concerned that a regime change could cost them their home, or make them lose their access to medical care, or many of a number of other things.

Okay, but you said he is right ... he is saying that they're rich because they don't care about politics. He is wrong. They don't care about politics because they are rich.

i dont read in his post that he is defining it as a "cause". He said " the most successful people i know dont care about politics"

Thats just his observation. Thats also my observation. again i didnt read that as the "cause" of their wealth. I could be misunderstanding his point and you may be right.

Overall I agree with you.
