What would be the ultimate in conspicuous consumption?
I would think a Rolls Royce SUV would be the ultimate in conspicuous consumption. If the company would even manufacture such a thing.

6. That very phrase just turns my stomach...
'conspicuous consumption' I mean.

It makes me queasy and sad... and a little angry, too. x(

10. I think so, too.

11. Buying the White House
...if "privatization" keeps going...and we get as broke as I expect us to...well, why not? Surely, the private sector could run the country better than the government can...and Gawd, what an auction! Imagine that a price they could get for the *White House*!!!
