Good answer.

Of course anyone who wastes $50k, to go risk their life, busting their ass,
climbing a mountain, for the bragging rights/feeling of superiority, is Nothing
like me.

$50k is a lot of money I have already worked hard for. And takes more
than a few weeks to save. Look around here, and their are 5k places I would
rather put that to use helping people than climbing a mountain.


In other words,
Everone on that mountain,
except the Sherpas,
are Bozos.


I wouldn’t presume to know the motivation on a couple hundred people.
Some people realize that until you push a limit you don’t know how far you can go.
I wouldn’t assume they haven’t help people in their lives already.
I say good on anyone that wants to spend their money. Look how it helps the community in Tibet .



Decades of voting for the lesser of two evils has gotten us just that.....
