Being blamed for things they self-evidently do not control? Eye rolls? These are classic markers of low status.

- potatolicious 13y agoIt's tricky I think. There are really two orthogonal statuses at play. There's the status conferred by being far wealthier than typical for the area. There's also the status conferred by having a respected/liked job. In Seattle/SF your wealth status is high, but your interestingness status is low. Dirt low even. In NYC your wealth status is middling, but your interestingness status is relatively high. I prefer this setup far, far more. But I'm also not a sociologist - maybe we're defining status differently.
