And yet many of them do anyway. And what percent of that class has never worked a day in their life? Most of them probably have years or decades of experience in their career and had to work hard to get to where they're at.
Lol, lmao even
You know, it's tempting to think people like this aren't real but i met a guy just like gigan IRL sitting in a bar one night.
Guy was a working stiff like me but he was just convinced that the super-rich deserved what they had, and that he was in the proper place, the bottom. He didn't put it exactly that way, but that was the gist.
Cant understand it, and certainly can't help folks like that understand.
Maybe you didn't read the entirely of OP picture. "If you HAVE to work to survive you are working class". Some of them still work, to keep their power and privileges, or to pursue their personal needs on the arts and other alike.
A gentleman should have something to do after all. Not employment of course, but some enterprise
Not /s but said in like a mocking tone. Anyway, I'm agreeing with you
The point is they don't need to work. Sure, if I didn't need to work for money then I would probably get bored and find something to do, but it's not same as selling your labour because you have to.
