What? People aren’t allowed to have expensive hobbies now?
I mean, I guess there isn’t anything legally stopping you.
I’d argue it isn’t a good look for any politician who claims progressive values though. Know your voters and all…
Well, a good portion of Dem voters are UMC liberal types who might buy a $300 pot. Cookware is generally pretty expensive, $300 is typical for a high-end product but it’s not outrageous or ostentatious.
No, I can assure you. For the vast majority of middle America — and for those whom $300 is nearly a weeks worth of wages after taxes, a $300 pot is both outrageous and ostentatious, certainly the latter.
I realize Atlas is mostly a bunch of white, upper-middle class yuppies, but that level of being out of touch is new.
Edit; $400 pot.
The median family income in the United States is about $70,000. Among Democratic voters it's probably higher. Sure, it's an expensive pot, but you're acting like the typical American hasn't seen more than $100 at a time in their life. Anyone can recognize that someone who cooks as a hobby might buy a more expensive pot; even middle-class people spend $400 on non-necessary items occasionally. They wouldn't see that Harris bought a $400 pot and think of her as some gilded multimillionaire elitist ala Trump.
