ISAACSON: If you were listing the 1,000 adjectives for Steve, nice would not be [one of them]. Kindness would not be up there. I told him, “Why are you that way, Steve?” and he said, “This is who I am. This is the way I am.” People say, “Well, he didn’t put a license plate on there. He sometimes parked in the handicapped [spot], or he cut in line.” He actually seemed to live as if the normal rules didn’t apply to him.

Didn't he lease a new car every 6 months specifically to avoid having to put license plates on his Benz? And it was an SL55 AMG to boot, not one of them peasant Mercs.

Rules don't apply when there are loopholes that the rich can take advantage of.
