      I don’t disagree, but I’ve got to argue that it’s their own money and they should be allowed to spend it on that. It’s no different than spending $90k on a ford ranger. People waste money all the time, but if it makes them happy then who are we to judge.

        The Pokemon cards would almost certainly hold their value better, especially considering how reliable modern Ford vehicles are.

    Someone just needs to steal John Key’s (or insert wealthy politico of choice) nephew’s pokemon cards. Then the popo will take it seriously
