When Dirty Jobs star Mike Rowe saw that Nordstrom was selling $425 jeans covered in fake ‘mud’, he got extremely annoyed.
So he took to social media, posted a rant on his Facebook page, and said “The Barracuda Straight Leg Jeans aren’t pants. They’re not even fashion. They’re a costume for wealthy people who see work as ironic – not iconic.”
“I like your mother. You have your mother’s breasts.”
“Her breasts.”
“Great stand-up tits,” he said.]

this is Cosmopolis by Don DeLillo. it’s a really weird novel about a man going to get a haircut that’s also a pretty explicit criticism of the 1%.
the main character is a multimillionaire who’s so fixated on money and materialism that he’s basically forgotten how to be a normal human being and connect with people. that conversation above is him talking to his new wife. at one point, he even says something like, “this is good. we are having a conversation. this is what people do.”
