Well said, qaz. “...keeping up with the Jones” is so true. And it’s a big blind spot for Libs.
It would be interested to read an authoritative survey of Whole Foods customers to get an accurate view of who they are.
Jeff Bezos obviously did that survey (by looking inside his own Amazon data) and he liked what he saw. Libs are a pain to please, but they are very profitable customers.
I think that survey would show, at the least, that they think they are better, smarter, more culturally enlightened, tolerant, accepting of the “Average American”.
Problem is, while they might have high paying jobs in marketing, sales, IT, most of them can’t run a chainsaw, change their own oil or tire, nor could they install a ceiling fan. And they are the least tolerant folks around.
