I have a theory that America is diverging into two separate status hierarchies, one based on wealth and one based on cultural knowledge. In the past, the people who controlled economic capital also controlled cultural capital. Now that is less and less the case.

What do you think? Is it still possible to be Cool and Rich at the same time?

Interesting theory! In today's society, being Cool and Rich may not always go hand in hand. It's becoming more common to see individuals with cultural knowledge valued over traditional wealth. Adapting to these changing dynamics is key!
