This makes me wonder what would happen if you took the content off some celebrity-focused website like say TMZ but changed the formatting to make it look like New York Times articles.
Like, the “gravitas” of the NY Times politics section with content like “Guess Whose Shirtless Selfie!”

If you’re rich you can afford to gamble, lose and try again.
If you’re poor, you can gamble, win, and then have to spend your winnings helping out your family and community. Like, paying for the operation your uncle needs but couldn’t afford, or helping mom’s friend from church avoid losing her home.
This is a reason that a lot of poor-person owned businesses don’t grow. They may start strong, but then the business owner has trouble continuing to invest.

And if you’re only slightly rich (as in, daddy’s a lawyer) you can afford to gamble, lose, and then try again.
