I’d rather be landed gentry since I think not having to work for a living would be pretty sweet. I’d also have to be cold heartless classist which I don’t think I could do. I’d probably die from dysentery though but I’m considering that outside of the question of “which occupation would you rather”
- tasuki 3y agoWhere did “which occupation would you rather” make it in? I was comparing the overall lifestyle and life outcomes.
- cristiancavalli 3y agoWell your question was vague and not actually what you are referring to: it was a simple “would you rather.” I think the comparison is useless given that comparing the entirety of the life experience of people in two different eras does not actually contribute to a conversation around the core point being made here: having ridiculous levels of wealth is not the same as having a decent paying job in which you are still reliant on the income to survive and therefore are essentially tied to that opportunity of labor. A more valid comparison would be, as I pointed out earlier, between billionaires and any class of people who “have to work for a living”
