I sort of agree with you, but at the same time the wealthy are always the earliest adopters for expensive new technology. Them buying overpriced luxury cars helps subsidize the development of the tech for the rest of us. And when they switch to a new car in 5 years it adds more stock to the used car market for people that can’t afford the cutting edge but still want to own an EV.
The joke is that the shrimp fried the rice, rather than the shrimp being in the fried rice. Because the dish is called “shrimp fried rice”.
