While seeing these pictures of Mark Zuk going on a trek in middle America, it just dawned on me what he was actually doing. This is a zoo trip. Yes, he is going on a fucking zoo trip, he get's to even feed and pet the animals (or talk to them, as he puts it).

In other words, the elites are so disconnected to other human beings that watching people toil to earn a measly paycheck and live day by day is a form of entertainment voyeurism. Now imagine what happens when the elites get bored...
