In the UK, where I live, pretty much everyone (you get at least 20 days holiday each year, usually more + bank holidays). Who else am I supposed to exercise this "wealth display" over? Where does the earth's population come into this. They are not my peers. Also I can't leave Europe because I have no passport so even if you took the population of the country being visited into account it would still impress no one. They can't know how long my holiday is, all they see is a guy with a backpack, hitch-hiking or using public transport. That would impress no one. Your idea of wealth is somewhat skewed.
- ilaksh 11y agoPretty much everyone in the UK can stop working for 3 weeks and take a 1200 pound holiday? I don't believe that. Yes, the rest of the world is your peer. The belief that they are not is ultimately what led to the downfall of the British Empire, Naziism, and what will spell the end of the American Empire soon.
