[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people are confusing signs of extreme wealth with signs of class[/quote] Definitely. There’s a big difference. I do wonder, though, if the definition of “class” itself is changing or needs to change. We’re using a definition of “UC” that refers back to WASPS a century ago. I fall into that group (people are amazed by my antiques), so this isn’t sour grapes or something. But with all the tech wealth, times are changing. The people with money these days aren’t telling the staff not to use Pledge on the antiques. A lot of them do seem to have similar values—they love the outdoors even more than WASPs, not all of them are into conspicuous consumption and many drive more humble electric cars, etc.... But there are differences, like they don’t hesitate to buy that large, 1990s pseudo-Italian house in Pali Alto.[/quote]
