I think I can answer most of your questions by saying he comes over to discuss the lease in a Mercedes Maybach. An SUV that starts at $178,000.
I don’t think age or other things really matter at that point.
He owns multiple properties and houses.
But, still, my entire point is that this relationship in itself is what needs to die. It’s not this individual dudes fault. It’s a system that allows people like this to exist that produce nothing.
Well, not entirely. There are cases for which a person utters the wish and it is not counted. “I wish for a million wishes!”
The standard is for the genie to explain the exceptions but not count that as a wish.
Now, it could decrement the count after this check. But just decrementing the count before verification would be sloppy.
But, then again, basic verification would also include checking that wishes_remaining <= MAX_WISHES.
Which, I think is a pretty standard check for genie’s. Given that that constant has remained at 3 since their beta days and exceptions are thrown for violations of this rule.
