OTOH a Ferrari is a conspicuous sign of wealth and bad taste... the hypersonic flight, while significantly time-saving and maybe good for a couple of selfies on instagram, probably doesn't function so well in that regard
- vegabook 11y agoI was working at a bank in the late 90s where for a year all VPs (there were 4000 of them) were allowed to upgrade business class automatically to Concorde if seats were available. Most of them didn't shut up about this, constantly telling people what it was like. It was definitely right up there with neon-lit conspicuous consumption. I think a Ferrari is maybe even marginally less irritating than that.
