What they don’t understand is that their success is a mixture of their hard work AND luck.
How does having certain morals/principles fit in? I know plenty of health care workers and educators who do so because it’s how they want to contribute to society. Not only that, but rejecting offers with 2-300% increase pay from the private sector, only because it goes against their principles? They’d work less as a result too!
It takes some effort to imagine the level of human shitstain to suggest the low pay is “deserved” or due to a lack of not being lazy.
I think a lot of people attribute to malice that which is coming from ignorance.
We all live in bubbles of one kind or another. I like to think that I work very hard to identify my biases and privileges, but I know I fail.
Some people never try to challenge their biases, so they remain in ignorance. It’s not that they’re evil - just that what’s so weird to the rest of us is their normal.
I work for (but do not live in) a tiny city (around 10 employees for the entire city) that’s an enclave for the super-rich. We’re talking 8-9 million dollar houses being the norm.
The residents here aren’t evil people in their hearts. They just live in a completely separate world from the rest of us. They went to private schools, fly on private planes, and the poorest people they interact with on a regular basis have 8-figure valuations.
They think they’re middle-class because most of them aren’t billionaires even though their houses cost more than I make in a century.

They’re immorally rich, but they don’t know it.
