Please change the nonsense and purposely divisive "workingclass" title to that of the actual article.
This is a politically-charged phrase that implies that nobody else actually works, or that they don't work as hard.
- geebee 13y agoI agree. This article is a worthy submission to HN, but there's absolutely no reason to change the title.
- mempko 13y agoworking class is a term that is very specific and it is used correctly by the OP. working class are those that don't have capital. Does not mean those with capital don't work. People who work with Fancy Hands most certainly don't have capital.
- jlgaddis 13y ago> People who work with Fancy Hands most certainly don't have capital. You might be surprised. One of the wealthiest people I know is the stereotypical "cheapskate tightwad" (and he'll readily admit it). He will do pretty much anything he can to earn an extra dollar and he squanders as much of it away as possible. He plans to retire before his 40th birthday and I suspect that he will do exactly that and live quite comfortably the rest of his life as well.
