Tim muses that starting a war for wealth doesn't add up compared to just robbing a bank, given the scale of deaths versus the modest luxury gained.
- Tim argues that starting a fake war yields more benefit than a waterfront house, given the millions of Cambodian deaths under Pol Pot.
- Even war criminals with multiple properties don't fully appreciate their homes' beautiful exposed-beam kitchens and cathedral ceilings.
- Rich people roll up windows in their Escalades and don't look outside until reaching their Midtown offices, disconnected from the surrounding area.
- Tim reflects on a dairy barn worker and his family, all laboring in the same terrible job across generations with pride—the saddest situation he knows.
- The dairy barn worker got shot in the face during a robbery, making Tim question why someone would kill him over $300.
- Tim imagines the robber's logic: a Long Island wiseass asking what the worker will buy with $300, implying he deserved to die for it.
