The rich are intelligent enough to recognize good taste and make it expensive

Eh, a lot of rich people things (especially their interior design) are really gaudy and ugly, it really depends on the fancy thing I guess.

Oh don't get me wrong, the wealthy are super tacky. I just mentioned that part because all the objectively beautiful, good things (or the closest there is to it) in the US is ALWAYS the most expensive.

But the wealthy have this weird quirk of indulging in some hideous shit, and that's what I mean by them getting high off their own supply. They reserve some things as proleslop, ugly disposable clothing, disgusting 'food', ugly irrelevant suburbs in bumfuck nowhere, and porky actually likes them.

I'm just wondering why the stuff I like that is also not to porky's taste (and get called gay for liking by normies and porky alike), is also stuff that the wealthy gatekeep for only them and jacks up the price so as they can only be enjoyed by other rich people.

many of these dumb fucks go on cruises. Google "cruise ship interior", you wont find anything more tacky and cheap anywhere else, 13k tickets per person for 8 days on average. Yeah good taste my ass.

God I still remember all the boomers yammering on about their cruises to me when I was a bartender and don't even get me started on the their little tantrums when covid kept them from their floating petri dishes

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
