I dunno', I still hear far too many people simping for the rich believing they all personally earned their riches and I hear far too many people still believing "capitalism" is just using money to buy things.

Ignorance is alive and well.

Yep.

I had a construction worker try to explain to me how Elon Musk is a genius who makes it possible for me to do my job (I work in the Space Industry, NOT for SpaceX) and I should be grateful he's creating those opportunities for me instead of hating on him. He got really mad about it when I didn't agree.

He got even angrier when I asked him why someone like him, on the lowest rung of the labor ladder, was simping like that. He had no answer though.
