I don't think you fully understand my point.
Your SO not being in tech + your income probably is $100k or more. Once you reach that point in the US, you are not materially impacted personally.
We all have friends/family/etc that are not in tech and we float them money sometimes when they are in a bind. That isn't the same thing as wealth inequality materially impacting you personally.
You see the larger impact it has on other people. And that bothers you, which is perfectly understandable. But that is a political problem rather than a personal thing at that point.
- Tannic 9y agoDoes it have to be so binary? It's well short of the kind of problem someone suffering directly in poverty feels,and should not be conflated with that experience, but certainly is personal. Also, the personal and the political are not somehow exclusive of each other in the slightest.
