CMV: I think some Americans enjoy paying higher prices because it means they can afford it and others can’t.

I’ve always kind of known that America runs off of a class system that no one will speak out loud about, but ever since gas prices have started going up, I really did think that would be what would do it for some people to stop supporting republicans this time around.

For some, it has, but many others just keep making more excuses and I know that for some, it may be some form of sunk cost fallacy but I truly think for others they enjoy paying higher prices because it makes them feel better than others.

They get to listen to people complain about how they can’t afford gas anymore on social media, the news, or even in real life and then they get to look down on those people and feel better about themselves because “well I can afford gas and groceries even if it is a little tighter.”
