luxury shameful or luxury shameless

Last week I was talking about seeing a student wearing Rolex to class. And today's newspaper talks about luxury shame. If you want to find out more about "luxury shame", Newsweek has an article on it.

Whether it was a real authentic oyster or just a jellyfish, it doesn't matter. It definitely wasn't a $20 Casio.

So in times like this, is there anything wrong spending your money away? Some may term it insensitive, but I guess if it's your money (or pocket money given by your father) then it's none of my business. It's not like me paying for your new handbags or new gadgets.

In fact, some think that we should encourage spending. Look at it this way. Motorcars can be seen as a luxury. When people don't buy cars, look at what's happening to the automobile industry? You won't die if you don't drink coke, but if you don't drink coke, they may have to "streamline" their workforce. (just an example, nothing's gonna happen to coke) When these spenders don't spend, the workers end up being the ones suffering.

And so, the working class should leech on these people! Don't bother having eyes red over other people spending money. Exploit the rich back.
