There is a range of working class. Some get paid more for their work. They are still working to survive.
As many of the higher wager earners disagree with how the lesser wage earners spend their meager earnings as the less wager earners disagree with the high wager earners.
This is crab mentality. You need to unlearn yours or accept yourself as part of the problem. Some may have larger claws than others but we are all crabs in the same bucket.
I’m not arguing we aren’t all crabs in a bucket - but telling someone who’s working poor that the guy making 5-10x as much as them and still living paycheck to paycheck just like them doesn’t help anyone?
Nor does it accurately represent how much worse their situation is?
It’s not about representing how good or bad a worker has it on the spectrum of working class. It’s about recognizing a class of lifeway that two extreme ends share.
Put it this way, you have housecats who are pampered and treated to the finest food and veterinary care, and housecats who are left to limp around pathetically getting barely enough food.
But they’re both pets.
It has nothing to do with how well they’re treated, it’s just what they are.
I think if you asked the two cats they might tell you something else.
I know which one I’d prefer to be.
They might even tell you’re they’re not the same. And one cat would kill a bitch to be the other cat.
