(35,008 posts)The Pritzker family is an American family engaged in various business enterprises and philanthropy, and one of the wealthiest families in the United States. The family has stayed in the top 10 of Forbes magazine's "America's Richest Families" list since the magazine began such listings in 1982. Its major fortunes started in the 20th century, particularly through the expansion of the Hyatt Hotels Corporation by Jay Pritzker.

I suspect that it's shock that he is that rich and mentioning it suddenly pits a prominent dem against all the narrative that's being pushed. If they're bad--and the unsaid word, like usually, is the quantifier like "some" or "all" or "most", but we understand it to mean "they're all bad"--how can this one be good? If we're on the side against (all) those with that obviously, only unearned, unmerited, stolen wealth, how can we support him? (Personally, that's what happens when you make arguments by proxy. Is it the wealth that's bad or what they do with it? And on that point, I think over Pritzker there'll be a bit of a split. There's more, but it's early and I have to finish my coffee and mow the front yard. And feed/water the queen that appeared a few days ago on my back porch under my work bench with three newborn kittens. She's orange, but she has 1 gray, 1 orange, and 1 black kitten. Highs are 95 outside and 'cool' doesn't exist in nature north of Houston.)
