Yes. But only if they refuse to acknowledge that you're an adult and don't belong there. Otherwise it's just reading small books and adding numbers together manually.

Yeah, crave it in a food kind of way would be fine.
Crave it. The other way would be cruel.
IRL I'd go somewhere else, of course, but that's not the spirit of the question.
If there was an active financial decision you could make and reliably get rich, everyone would do it.
I've never thought about it like that, but it makes good sense.
Also not joining the rat race, and buying new shiny shit for the sake of it.
I still don't 100% get the mentality here. Otherwise intelligent people will sink huge money into luxury shit; it doesn't seem to bother them at all if you point out that someone else made up the whole concept of diamonds or whatever to get their money.
Underrated answer. Meritocracy is a lie, folks, even within the West. If you do everything perfectly you will climb a little bit, and only on average. All the counterexamples you're thinking of are people who won a lottery of some kind. And of course, birth is also a lottery.
Pretty much the same. Bought some Bitcoin in high school in the early 10's. It was just a novelty and I was a kid, so I didn't buy much, but if someone was kidnapped or something it would be worth it to go through my old drives.
You must have caught that schmuck on a really bad day. I'm not upset by it, because we are really hard to tell apart. Some people do take mild offence, but it's a pretty unfair thing to expect someone to guess.
Often, it's good to point out you're Canadian abroad, because we're just less hated globally. Occasionally being "American" can be handy, especially in America.
Tearful? Jesus Christ, somebody's lost all sense of proportion.
... Unless they're standing in the wrong building, or their parents don't have enough money to buy food under the near-total blockade, or they get cholera from open sewerage or...
Whataboutisms are useless to everyone. Atrocities have been committed on both sides. The question is, how do we make them stop? Neither Hamas nor Otzma Yehudit are likely to be part of that picture.
I'm going to have to read this report. How does that work? There's no way cutting down a tree, shipping it and processing it requires a tree-worth of fuel. Yeah, you could let the forest keep growing, but from what I've heard it slows down pretty good at a certain point, and eventually starts decaying as well. Maybe way more of it is going to paper than I would have expected?
