I feel like all my friends say this but none of them really care about status either, they just think other people do. Maybe apart from a handful of psychopaths with outsized social media followings, no one really does. Then again, I live in Portland where a lot of people fight for intellectual status but no one would be caught dead showing any sign of material wealth or privilege... but I also feel like people in the red parts of the metro/state are mostly not concerned with status or much beyond living middle class lives either.
