I've been in tech my whole professional life and I can't relate to the second class at all. The technologically enabled upper middle class are fighting over Yeezys, Supreme drops, and Rolexes (seriously, try to find any of those at retail price). My neighborhood is filled with WFH techies, and we all head outside in the evening for our kids to ride bikes with each other while we sample microbrews together.
Those trucks you see electricians and plumbers driving, they cost $50k and up. I don't get that remark, either.

- wil421 8y agoYou do know a lot of trade people either have a truck stipended or if they are self employed the business pays the bill. My friend is an electrician on commercial sites. He gets a $600-$700 truck stipen from his employer.
- Domenic_S 8y agoI don’t dispute that at all, what I was responding to was gp’s remark that a $50k vehicle “offends their sensibilities”.
- zeckalpha 8y agoElectricians and plumbers are STEM tech jobs, just with a different path to entry and a social stigma.
