I dunno, you don't have to be a blueblood to think you're a special snowflake when it comes to medication issues or much of anything. Given the opportunity, there are a lot of people who would behave that way in the same situation. Douchery and self-involvement isn't limited to the upper class or old money. They just have more experience throwing their weight around over generations. I know uneducated but financially successful people actively getting in the way of their community's best interest out of poor character that they had well before they got the cash. They just didn't have the money to fulfill their clueless plans or bully fantasies, but they had'em all the same. I've seen plenty of it at all levels. The "unique situation" comment is a gut reaction, not a legal one (little guys having the money to mount a challenge is another issue). Don't think Claiborne is oblivious to how it could affect them in the future if nothing is done so even if they're being self-involved, no reason it can't benefit others even accidentally.
