    2008, 1980, 1929, 1907… Its an old playbook.

    Knew a guy who said he was descended from some European family that had been nobility and they used arranged marriages to strategically change sides during major conflicts; thus maintaining their wealth/status for centuries.

    I have my doubts about his heritage but I don’t doubt that rich people did/do this kind of shit.
