![]() | Re: The supreme display of wealth. Man, that Rolls looks tacky -- who would ever have thought someone so wealthy would be so damn poverty-stricken when it comes to having a sense of style.

I wonder how much money the owner had to pay the workers to apply this horrid colour scheme and ruin such an elegant car. Surely any passionate RR worker will refuse to do this to any of the cars in the factory.

That's the well known problem with nouveau riche: too much money, no taste. ![]() In the past traditional elites were guardians & protagonists of a good taste, today nouveau riche elites barely have any taste. These people are definitely not socialized in a right manner - having no cultural capital, only material one. And such discrepancy between these two capitals is never a good thing. |

This problem is getting worse and worse and I don't think there will be a way to stop this unless there is a massive global economic recession, but that won't be good for anyone.
