  1. I shall persistently and indefatigably flagellate the deceased equine. Painted art is not overpriced because the plutonomy loves painting. Painted art is overpriced because the plutonomy loves money laundering and con games.

    This is just more money laundering, keeping the wheels of kleptocracy greased. The very rich are not like us, as F. Scott said to Ernest.
