Nah, it's inspiring to see people make the opportunity for their children. Regardless of what we may think of them their achievements stand out. Congratulations to the family for their success in a world that makes it so damn hard.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
