Then, there's this permanent humiliation of feeling like a servant in your home-town, because the local upper class makes very clear to you peons, that you're less important than the tourists, and they also think this very clearly.
We see this happen in the US, too, when a handful of billionaires buy up small town property and turn it into a resort town, driving out the locals. Some of my friends in that situation got "servant" level jobs as teenagers and really think that, somehow, serving the rich for $12/hr will lead to them becoming "one of them."
- solveit 5y agoSomehow I suspect you're not being very charitable towards your friends. Would they describe their own thought processes as > somehow, serving the rich for $12/hr will lead to them becoming "one of them."
- nitrogen 5y agoAt least one would, yeah.

No asshole, I would prefer working in the factory that couldn’t open because it would spoil the city for you assholes.
