Rich people often seem surprised that the peasantry don't view them as the benevolent foundation of their own prosperity.

- valuearb 6y agoSince neither you or I am rich, how would you know? Since my landscaper and pool guy are both independent entrepreneurs, maybe they view me as a valuable customer?
- EliRivers 6y agoFlash news; it's possible to know something without directly experiencing it yourself.
- valuearb 6y agoIt’s also possible to pontificate about things that aren’t really true. In fact it’s done often.
- xg15 6y agoYes I know, no one is rich, we're all just various layers of middle class - even if we're hiring landscapers and pool service and think of ourselves as supply-side jesus.

- valuearb 6y agoSo now living in a home with a pool is a mark of “the rich”? Apparently half of Alabama now qualifies.
- NotSammyHagar 6y agoYes, we are all rich in a sense in the programmer world. That pool guy in my town, Seattle, or the guy cutting my grass today where the air is dangerous with smoke, they are out in it and I'm not. I was paying my lawn guy to not come during the early part of the pandemic, he wanted to come so I let him.
