yeah, some people - wanting to derive some enjoyment and meaning from the work they spend most of their lives doing to further enrich someone who is already rich - like give the calvinism a break am i right folks?
The difference between those numbers is not as big as you think. When you compare those figures to the people with actual capital, it becomes apparent people who make 150k a year are in the same boat as those making 50k. We're all a few bad rolls of the dice away from poverty, which makes us all similarly vulnerable to exploitation. We should be working together.
I've been on both ends of the this little spectrum here fairly recently and i can tell you the difference aint as big as its cracked up to be. The division here is sown on purpose. I dare you to ask for what purpose that is.
I'm Brazilian but that's not far from happening. If Flavio wins here it's possible that Brazil becomes a version of Puerto Rico but worse, in the form of a neo-colony for exploration of rare earths.
People moved out of the cities during COVID because close physical proximity to large numbers of strangers was a potentially deadly hazard to their health.

It depends on what you mean by "comfortable."
A lot of people who moved to less populated areas found they weren't fully prepared to live with fewer amenities and choice in every aspect of life, from hospitals to supermarkets to mates.
There was a meaningful post-COVID return to cities and it wasn't driven exclusively by return to office mandates.
