    That’s how the rich get richer. They never gamble with their own money. They gamble with other people’s money, secured (hah) by their assets.

    Yes a minority of us peons who are privileged enough to own property or lots of stocks can play-act like they’re rich by taking out reverse mortgages or doing options trading, but it’s nothing like what the actual rich can get away with.
