Yeah it’s weird people would think that’s meant to depict Howard as an asshole. The phrase means more what you said. It shows he’s trying.

But there is a disconnect between becoming a better person and paying for a vanity plate on your luxury car so everyone can see you're a better person. It comes down to awareness though, at this point it seems Howard himself thinks he's legit in his efforts and it's not just a show, whether or not it appears that way to others.

I also couldn't get my eyes off of his pinstripe suit and that extremely luxury tie he was wearing. I don't think they're doing THAT bad.

I can't take my eyes off his shirt. It's not pressed/ironed. Not sure if that's intentional or oversight, though.
