It's an extremely selfish country. Some people are less than others and deserve less is exactly the mindset in USA now.
HN appears to have a more highly paid engineer out-of-touch with financial reality user base, it's not everyone, and I don't think they're doing it on purpose, but it's certainly noticeable. Even on my barely-enough-to-live wage in Seattle it's tough to not find myself forgetting the struggles of people lower in class than I. Workers rights are not popular here, and I'm guessing it's because engineers and higher paid people are often treated pretty fairly and have workplace freedoms the rest of the workforce could only ever imagine in their dreams.
- hef19898 8y agoTrue that. I dis not mean that people think likevthat on purpose. For me, I can now appreciate much more what previous generations did in Europe regarding workers rights and civil rights. I took all of that more or less for granted in the firsz world, but it isn't. No suprise back the day these fights has to be litterally taken to the streets. I'm happy people did that. Also zrue that a person tends to stay in their own social bubble, I do it myself. Lucky me I don't have to worry about money most of the time. But that doesn't mean that you cannot be aware of others that are not in that situation. Not that I care about that often enough. Again something I realized lately.
