Who pays or the reasons why she travels so much isn't really relevant, is it? She gets to do it. She travels more in two weeks than most people do in a year. Whether it's her cushy job, her rich husband, rich parents - she gets to experience all of this. And of course they're highlights, but the point is that she has so many in such a short time span while keeping a job.
My point is that she's detached from the reality as 95%+ of Americans have it, and judging by her $100k undergraduate liberal arts degree and growing up in SF, maybe she's never been attached to that reality.
- mmflint 10y agoI find people come to the defense (although you aren't attacking her - just noting how her privilege lends to her lack of self-awareness) of people of higher means in order to feel less guilt about their own privileges/upbringing/good fortune. I assume this is some coping mechanism because people feel attacked when you point out their opinion may be influenced by their affluence and perhaps not all their success is their own.
