a surgeon earning $400k with few investments living paycheck-to-paycheck (very possible if they have a sick parent with high healthcare costs or high childcare prices) has more in common with a food service worker than with Jeff Bezos, but the system is designed to make both workers forget that.

And noteworthily: a NYT opinions journalist who earns a $120k salary and another $200k on their investments and tenant rent absolutely _is_ part of the capitalist class and rich, even though their income is lower than the hypothetical surgeon's!

vivaldi no longer supports ublock due to being chromium based, so I guess I am crawling back to firefox again

fyi virtue signaling about never eating fine dining is stupid. I can have a dinner with my wife that completely blows my mind about the possibilities of what food can be for cheaper than a single night at a mid-quality hotel.

I know not everyone is in a place where they can afford a few hundred dollars for a special occasion but I promise that this is not a "bougie" amount of money. some people buy nintendo switches and some people eat sushi that makes you want to cry, yknow.

@lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me "rent-seekers" is a somewhat less poisoned word in the discourse

@lritter@mastodon.gamedev.place the number of boosts on this post indicate that mastodon is not beating the "social media for software engineers" allegations

@j12i@weirder.earth Deleted my first reply bc it put words in your mouth, sorry. More calmly: I have a tech job and it pays well, so, yeah, there is a class difference between us. I don't think you're virtue signaling. I do wonder if you think that way about -all- luxury purchases in the 100-300 dollar range, or just food purchases?

@GrahamDowns@mastodon.africa "Why can't people with different opinions, different life experiences, and different outlooks just get along?" This is the the kind of thing a child asks their mother, not serious discourse. If you don't know the answer to this question, I'm not going to be able to answer it for you in a post. @NaClKnight@fgc.network
