That’s a very interesting way to view the world.

It’s the way you view the world when you grew up dirt poor, and continue to be dirt poor despite doing everything that you were “supposed” to do to have a comfortable life and realize that you will never own a home or retire (literally the only things I’ve ever wanted since childhood) because you’re in that perfect sweet spot where your COL will always outpace you wage increases, even if you switch to a better job every 2-3 years. Am I bitter? Yes. But I’m not going to pretend that people that make upper six figures, own multiple cars and homes are in the same class as I am just to make myself feel better.

You would’ve had a point if you didn’t label them all assholes.

I still had a point. People just don’t like being called out

No, you buried your point by being an asshole. That is not the same as “calling out” someone.

I’m not trying to be an asshole, my evidence is anecdotal, but widely approved but other people in the front-end customer service business. It’s not a value judgement. Assholes are just in a state of… becoming? Most of them are just ignorant. But it takes one to know one, I guess?
