They are dead ass right. People who make 50k/year get incredibly defensive and mad when they see someone making near double what they make say this, because it nukes any argument they have for blowing their budget on luxury services they think they deserve.

Yea, sucks to be one of those people who went to college earned a bachelor with dept and now layoff because of AI.

It’s life, shit happens, not everyone is dealt a fair hand. But grats on being lucky and grinding through it.

The game is rigged but you're forced into it. Come up with a winning strategy or just be a whiny loser forever

I hope anyone who reads what you say can pick out the useful from the nonsense.
