Why is it despicable ? Look how they live and act. They deserve disdain.The UMC and UC look down on their fellow Dominicans with great disdain...even if they happen to even look at any of them.
It is despicable to me.

Whats wrong with buying after a lease return ? I have done it a couple of times, offers great value.go into any poor apartment complex in the U.S and the parking lot is filled with shiny late model cars. Most of them bought used after a lease has been turned. Priorities!!! same here on the island. flash and bling is important to the lower class.
mY WIFE SPEAKYeah and there is also another odd social dynamic that comes out between different social classes here a rich person will never speak to a poor person, I may get scolded for saying this but I understand it and here's why ( although they should give basic respect to everyone ) For one there would be nothing to talk about the personalities and experiences have so far deviated from one another it would be awkward for both and Dominican, in general, are very honest about their emotions and "let it out" so to speak, second is the concept in Dominican culture in every interaction there is a winner and loser, the person with no money has a low risk of losing anything out of the conversation or interaction while the rich person could get robbed, begged at, have someone follow them for 10 mins pretending to be nice. Using my birth country again for reference ( Canada ) this does not happen where I grew up, it would be shameful to ever deploy such a tactic BUT the biggest thing is Canadian culture is largely conscious on keeping the peace and being a good ol' chap although a conversation between people of different social classes do not occur that much when they do there is common ground and common values that allow them to talk on those points and relate to one another and no automatic assumption someone is trying to take resources from me, while Dominican culture is very focused on the family but not their community there is a sense of us and them here. Some people may argue that point but I find the community thing here is very superficial as there are no social programs and lots of corruption in all sectors and constant watchers in the barrios and common locations waiting for an opportunity to gain something but also more subtle things like caring for the environment, noise, garbage, and communal safety all make up what we call a community.
Trust only immediate family, and trust even them with money. My MIL is extremely honest and I would trust her with money or any of my possessions, my Brother-in-law I trust him with my tools as I know he won't abuse them nor lend them to anyone else. I am not sure what you mean by no social plans. There is the bono plan for poor people, there is subsidized medicine through the government pharmacies, there is public school food program, such as it is. Here is Jarabacoa there are organized soccer for both boys and girls, baseball with sponsored teams...etc.Yeah and there is also another odd social dynamic that comes out between different social classes here a rich person will never speak to a poor person, I may get scolded for saying this but I understand it and here's why ( although they should give basic respect to everyone ) For one there would be nothing to talk about the personalities and experiences have so far deviated from one another it would be awkward for both and Dominican, in general, are very honest about their emotions and "let it out" so to speak, second is the concept in Dominican culture in every interaction there is a winner and loser, the person with no money has a low risk of losing anything out of the conversation or interaction while the rich person could get robbed, begged at, have someone follow them for 10 mins pretending to be nice.

you missed the point sirWhats wrong with buying after a lease return ? I have done it a couple of times, offers great value.
We’re the polar opposite. When we go to DR, all our jewelry goes into safe deposit box, and we certainly don’t dress to impress in the campo. 🤣This nouveau riche or wannabe mentality exists everyw You'll also find Dominicans across all the classes who don't feel the need to behave like this.
Same here, some of Mr C's acquaintances ask him why he doesn't drive a better car now he can afford it.We’re the polar opposite. When we go to DR, all our jewelry goes into safe deposit box, and we certainly don’t dress to impress in the campo. 🤣
I think my husband’s brothers are dismayed by him sometimes, they’re all much more formally dressed in long pants and long sleeved shirts when they come to our house...he’s in shorts and tank tops. And flip flops. 😬
Some may do so but most don't . Most of my wife's life-long friends were from the UMC, MC and even rich and she was just the daughter of the cook in an UMC house. She has been friends with these people for 50 plus years. My wife, by Dominican standards is now UMC and she isn't pretentious at all. She is very respectful to even beggars.

I think I know a few youtube channels like this haha. potentially, although I think it's more or less family members in friend in different countries posing in front of strangers super-cars.I blame it on the Internet. There is a rich Chinese family that buys expensive toys like electric cars for their spoiled brat (the little bastard) of a son. Then the kids here see that and grow up as the OP described. Now all of you now why.
Neither have I.I have never encountered any of this behavior
Having lived in America, Europe, AsiaI think I know a few youtube channels like this haha. potentially, although I think it's more or less family members in friend in different countries posing in front of strangers super-cars.
