This man and those like him will never have to work again in their fucking lives. They will want for nothing. The world is effectively their theme park. Surely they can bear the psychological weight of mild mockery.

If you've read Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, think back to the character of the knight:
> And though that he were worthy, he was wys, And of his port as meeke as is a mayde. He nevere yet no vileynye ne sayde In al his lyf unto no maner wight.
He nevere yet no vileynye ne sayde -- he has never said a villainous word -- in al his lyf unto no maner wight -- in all his life to any kind of person.
One should aspire to be more like a knight and less like a jester.
They will still sleep comfortably on their satin sheets and often badly need a reminder to be wise and meek themselves. Most of them started out like regular humans and can probably be prodded to recall what was like before they were raptured into places where their billions are normal.
The other poster is right about tit-for-tat. I'm afraid you're giving advice of the "let them eat cake" variety.
In other words, you don't seem to recognize that America not a society of equals.
Maybe I should read Canterbury Tales, though. Is the knight high-born?
