I think there’s some face time practically speaking required, but I do think social status is basically purchasable at some margins. Not everyone in a church knows which doctor bought the roof or who the hat usually lands on when passed, but those who know definitely know.

Generally speaking, places where awe of money is significant enough to cause purchasing power to funge with community involvement are not what I am personally describing when I talk about highly functional communities
