There's no point having piles of money or being part of the ruling elite if you can't flout the laws designed for the hoi polloi. We all do it to some extent; doing 40mph in a 30mph zone? It's ok, you're a good driver, the law is for bad drivers.

This is why we see so many 'leaders' and celebrities getting infected. It's now worth getting a dose for a bit of much needed publicity and sympathy. God forbid we might start to forget them.

I doubt they have barely changed their schedules, they just don't publish their comings and goings to promote themselves and no photo-ops sought. Most don't even get fined when they get caught. Make fines progressive, like taxation, and start with 1% of your net worth.

Worth $1 Billion? That'll be $10,000,000 please! They wouldn't show off so much about their wealth then.

I read somewhere he was on a $50,000 daily retainer. I might flout a regulation or two for that kind of money. But he is 76, so he is playing with fire a bit.

We have yet to have a big death, someone very rich or famous, a royal or a senior politician. Boris came close. Maybe Rudy will be the one.

Nah, he will get access to the special presidential treatment, like Ben Carson, with presidential approval.
That's how the buddy system works for mobsters while they shit on everybody else.

Australian the lucky country if you're rich and famous, it used to be for everyone, it's not the same place I migrated to in 1983 thats for sure.give everyone a fare go has gone from the australian vocabulary

Isn't any country "the lucky country if you're rich and famous?" Everywhere I've traveled and lived, I've seen how the rich and famous live their best lives and flout any inconvenient rules. That's just how it works. I think it's always been that way too, at least since humans have been around.

How much ? (For the fine).

Varies from one day and region to another but at the moment I think it’s £200 first offence. It was something like £60 originally, which is less than a lot of people spend on a night out.

Back then everyone could get a permanent job, career by a house on one income work only 5 days week, shops closed weekends, Saturday was for sports Sunday picnics. Funny how now we can't afford to live like that now, in the name of progress.

Rules for thee, not for me. Same as it ever was.

Living on a single income is still possible. Easy litmus test. How many expats living in Cambodia have both spouses working? Or how many single expats live in the Kingdom of Wonder? Heck, some westerners even ‘retire’ at age 30-40s with growing families.

It’s all about expectations. Live like people lived back then, it’s possible. Live with all the advertising saying that one must have now, then it’s a different story.

Until the virus hit, that is.
