@johnquiggin@aus.social so those who are wealthy give high paying jobs to people who are not educated (networked into the job) then they begin to believe that they deserve the job and if they made it anyone else can. They only value the income not intellectual skills.

@johnquiggin@aus.social I think the correct definition of working class is you do not rely on capital income and on almost only labor income is the correct one, although almost 1/2 of US dwellers do not even work, and have to get their income from parents and government transfers, ie retirees, children, unemployed, and in school
