If these are considered “low class,” then consider me “lowest class.” I like to write about spooky stuff, including *EEK* politics. Comments were pulled from this Reddit thread. "That’s similar to some cities where the rich people lived in the flatter areas and had access to plumbing compared to those living in the hills. Once that expanded, living in the hills was for rich people."—u/littlemsshiny "Very presidential."—u/Feisty_System_4751 "A lot of wealthy people find ways to hide their TV."—u/username-generica "Yeah, hidden appliances are the new rich people thing. Obvious trash bin? Obvious TV? Obvious fridge? Gauche.
