I don’t get it. But I also don’t subscribe to mainstream media and news. Is this a play on media trying to sell bidenomics as good for common, or most, people?
I think the implication is that rich people don’t have popcorn ceilings, so if you do, you don’t make enough money that his tax plan will hurt you. The premise seems flawed to me, but I could be interpreting it wrong.
Coffered ceilings aren’t that expensive so long as you have 10ft ceilings.
If you have standard 8ft ceilings you need to raise the ceiling to meet the 8ft code, which can be very expensive or infeasible(if you dont have an attic above the room.).
The poor version is to put a couple layers of drywall up to create the pattern, it does not look great.
I have seen people who did like 2 layers on top of the original drywall and threw in some quarter round and denture, trashy. One was single layer and it was poorly mudded and separating at the transition with some screw dents, so I am wondering when it is going to fall off. I had some real “retirement project” vibes from the house, so I am guessing grandpa was “handy”.
Pretty sure people with those ceilings don’t have to worry either, because they have plenty of tricks to hide their wealth from taxes. I get what OP means, but they really missed the mark, because it’s pretty much only people with ceilings like the one he posted that actually have to worry: Rich enough to own a suburban home, but not rich enough to indulge in elaborate tax schemes.
The 3rd one looks like tin paneling, which is the middle class cheap imitation of a carved wood panel ceiling. So they would be at risk, depending on their actual income.
Ah, I was thinking “it’s probably asbestos so long term financial planning is not something you should worry about” but your interpretation makes way more sense.
“The media” isn’t trying to “sell” Biden’s tax plan. Some guy on the internet is saying via meme that if you have popcorn ceilings, you don’t have to worry about your taxes going up under Biden. Biden has famously pledged that he will not increase taxes on people making less than $400,000/year, so the implication is that people with popcorn ceilings make less than $400,000/year.
Is this a play on media trying to sell bidenomics as good for common, or most, people?
Yes, but in a way that makes it actually correct.
It’s about assuaging fears of people who think Bidenomics are extreme and will be worse for the working class than the Reaganomics that’s still somehow popular with Republicans.
It’s not a whole-hearted endorsement of every aspect of Bidenomics or a claim that Biden is a true leftist.

Ceiling types who NEED to worry:
That second one is the one I want!
I’m gonna make that shit in Minecraft
So. Many. Stair. Blocks. I salute you and what this will do to your free time.

I’ve done regular drywall ceiling more than once and I can’t imagine how you would make good looking coffered ceiling out of drywall layers 😂
That is the neat part, you can’t.

They all look tacky to me. Expensive, but tacky.

Why would ceiling types be worried and not the owners? Is there any lore reason for that?
They may get repossessed
Nah you’re spot on.
Ah, I was thinking “it’s probably asbestos so long term financial planning is not something you should worry about” but your interpretation makes way more sense.
I was thinking “Should they worry about crumbling lead paint?”
will the tax plan actually “hurt” the rich or will it simply limit their means to get even richer?
Depends on who you ask. Normal people, no. People with posh ceilings, yes.
It is 2024 and words can be violence against someone, as per Antifa. Money is free speech, as per Citizens United v FEC.
Taxing the rich specifically is literally harming their right to free speech violently, just because they are successful.
I say gag them unless they have something of value to say to the people who allow them to talk.
I was thinking it was a joke about asbestos. Yours makes more sense.
I don’t think you’re wrong. I grew up in a more affluent area, and these types of ceilings are very popular there.
How affluent? Because few people compared to the population actually make more than $400,000/year. So the meme would still stand.

Have you ever seen popcorn ceilings in any of your multimillionaire friends houses? The bootstrap friends that we all have‽
