Indeed. Someone IS living the good life.
Coffee in a travel mug? Starving kids in Africa don’t even have clean water to drink.
PB&J sandwich? Those same kids are lucky to get one meal a day.
Walking and running? Let me know when you can barely move due to malnutrition.
Great Clips haircut? Malnutrition often causes hair loss.
Listening to talk radio? The least of your concerns when you are dying of hunger.
Or perhaps we should look at how Gov. Dayton lives, yes? Large taxpayer provided mansion with taxpayer funded staff. Lavish meals provided by taxpayers. Limo and private plane rides, expensive suits, catered meet-n-greets, and top-of-the-line health care. Oh, and all this while he keeps his own assets safely away from his crippling taxes in trust funds in South Dakota as well as multiple holdings in Caribbean tax havens.
