Not to nitpick, but if you haven't used a $700 bidet toilet, no, rich people actually do have a better kind of toilet. $700 isn't all that much in the grand scheme of things, but heated seats are niiice.

I bought myself one of these fabled toilet seats about six years back and yes, it’s cured all the unpleasant health issues I had previously assumed were just a sad inevitability of having a butt.

Also sitting on a cold toilet seat is now particularly jarring. What a luxury! I highly recommend!

This is actually true of most things. There are diminishing returns but especially for stuff you interact with every single day (socks, underwear, t shirts, chairs, shoes, etc) the “quite expensive” versions are dramatically better than the baseline.

It is a psyop that rich people are just getting scammed out of their money.
