It's not just that the U.S. is filled with assholes: there's also the fact that many of these people are totally delusional, whether it's celebrities or businessmen. They spew complete nonsense because they are living in a total fantasy world. For example, "jUsT wOrk FrOm HoMe" or "sTaRt a BuSinEsS"

They don't know what survivorship bias is.
