How dare the rich NOT put up curtains in their homes?!
The nerve!
Don't they know they're showing off how entitled they are if we can see in their windows?! HAVE THEY NO SHAME?!
No, we're not the ones making this up.
It is an actual story ...
From The Atlantic.
Take a look at this:
The Atlantic (@TheAtlantic) ~ Uncovered windows have quietly become a fixture of high-end homes across America. How did ditching the curtains become such a common marker of wealth?

From The Atlantic:
Uncovered windows have quietly become a fixture of high-end homes across America. The New York Times recently referred to the “obligatory uncurtained windows” of Brooklyn Heights, a rich enclave in New York City, and The Root pointed out that this seemed common among wealthy young white people living in gentrified urban areas. On TikTok, onlookers have been baffled by the trend—and, sometimes, tempted to pry. Although this phenomenon is most visible in cities, the link between wealth and exposed windows extends across the United States. Most people do still close their shades, but Americans who earn more than $150,000 are almost twice as likely to leave windows uncovered as those making $20,000 to $29,000, according to a large 2013 study for the U.S. Department of Energy—nearly 20 percent of the first group compared with just over 10 percent of the second. The line isn't smooth as you slide up and down the income scale, but the overall trend is clear: The choice to draw or not draw the curtains is in part driven by class.
Heh heh heh heh heh ... this drivel is what passes for "journalism" at the uber-leftist ... and uber-pathetic ... The Atlantic. Nothing but pure Marxist claptrap that attempts to take infantile shots at their nemesis - the Bourgeoisie.
Or, you know, people forget to pull the curtains? Or maybe they like the light coming in?
Writers at The Atlantic have way too much free time on their hands.

NotYourJewishMom (@CaffMomREDACTED) ~ {Replying to @TheAtlantic and @michaelwwaters} Do you know that your headlines have become indistinguishable between reality and parody?
ℙ𝕣𝕠𝕗𝕖𝕤𝕤𝕠𝕣 𝔻𝕒𝕩𝕠𝕡𝕙𝕠𝕟𝕖 (@DaxophoneSolo) ~ {Replying to @TheAtlantic and @michaelwwaters} I like to let the poors look in to see what they can achieve by hard work. It's also fun to be able to see their reactions when I'm doing rich person stuff.
Absolutely.
Nothing makes people want to pull themselves up by their bootstraps like looking in at someone else's living room.
Heh.
Phineas J Whoopee (@j_whoopee) ~ {Replying to @TheAtlantic and @michaelwwaters} The rich and poor must close their curtains it's just common courtesy, the rich must not flaunt wealth and the poors must not subject us to their horrible taste in home furnishings.
Ventura (@jeffventura) ~ {Replying to @TheAtlantic and @michaelwwaters} I remember when The Atlantic wasn’t a parody of itself.
The Atlantic has been kitty litter box liner for a long, LONG time, now.
John Mow (@HowdyKids11975) ~ {Replying to @TheAtlantic and @michaelwwaters} Helluva article, based on a 2013 study, making it so contemporary AND hard hitting.
Brian Johnson (@therabbitshole) ~ {Replying to @TheAtlantic and @michaelwwaters} I wasn’t ready to believe the whole "college degrees are worthless" thing until I read this article.
Right?
Bruh (@lunchpail420) ~ {Replying to @TheAtlantic and @michaelwwaters} I actually just removed my windows altogether.
Yeah ... LOL! ... come take a look!
Aha!
Take THAT, poors!
