It’s the other way around. Getting rejected by all those hot Latinas in Santa Monica, the un poquito matadorito, is greeting revenge by deporting every brown person.

A business contact of my wife likes to swing the term “high value” (or its negation) at everything within reach like a hyperactive kid at a piñata-party. I haven’t seen him apply it to people yet, but the way he sometimes sounds wouldn’t surprise me at all.
The general context is event management, so he wants every advertisement, every presentation, every service provider’s social media profiles and generally everything to be “high value” in order to get “high value” customers. He’ll frown on certain promo channels not because they’re ineffective, but because they reach the “wrong audience” and once you’ve established yourself in a certain price range, it’s really hard to rebrand for a “higher value” range.
God forbid you would willingly cater to people not willing to drop six figures on a private party. His argument isn’t even that this range isn’t enough for a sustainable, comfortable living, just that it’s not worth it if you could also go for “high value”.
If he hasn’t already, I’m pretty sure one day he’ll end up calling a person not “high value” enough.
He’s using “high value” as a synonym for “high net worth.”
Due to some sin I must have committed in a previous life, I know some people in personal banking. Their whole gig is sucking up to that demographic. Frankly, I’d find it more meaningful pounding farts out of shirttails at a steam laundry, than fawning over rich scumsacks.
Just thinking about those people brings out a little Bolshevik whispering into my left ear.
