Here’s an example of poor informational hygiene:
The idea that it’s weird or unusual to have a house valued at that price with a quarter mil salary and a working, highly paid wife is nuts. The utterly invented outrage over this judge’s house was amplified by Elon Musk and eagerly consumed by overheated bimbos of both sexes. There’s absolutely no difference between this and “there are thousands of unarmed black men murdered by police each year.”
The worst part is that we are all hostages of these stupid, excitable, eager idjits.

Also, anybody who’s dipped into the current real estate market…. knows that you can get a loan for a bazillion times your household income to buy a ridiculously priced house. That doesn’t mean you can actually afford it. If he’d bought the house *last year* it’d simply be evidence that he’s bad at math and susceptible to trends. Or that his wife makes buku bucks.

People seem to live in a parallel reality where no news from our actual world ever reach.

If you start with the assumption that everybody richer than you got it dishonestly, then it’s easy to just roll with confirmation bias from there and believe everything that fits the pre-existing bias. I struggle with it myself.

Indeed. That type of house on that type of pay, especially if his wife is also working at a similar level, is completely plausible. Also, a lot of people suffered from the 2008 housing crash but if you bought at the right time, the shuffling of equity can leverage into a much more expensive property later or just massively increase the assessed value.
It is much easier to believe that there are shady dealings with congress members becoming millionaires within a few years. Envy is a powerful drug though.
