I cannot understand these Reich households pay such pathetic wages to their workers! Surely percent-wise the difference between a living wage and a below-subsistence slavery "wage" is unnoticeable to them, but still they do it.
But I did work for a rich business owner who was debating why he couldn't get good workers. When I pointed out he was paying the national minimum wage to his starting workers, he seemed surprised and asked me if I thought he should raise it.
So some people are just out of touch. I remember some celebrity being surprised when they saw a code scanner at the supermarket, not realizing the technology existed.
I think sometimes when a rich person sees their servant in their wealthy home setting it doesn't occur to them that that person is desperately poor. Sometimes.
I also believe some people are well aware of what they're doing, and (I believe) will burn in Hell for it.
A lot of these rich fucks have the same mentality as trump, where they think that any amount of help they give to someone weakens themselves by the same amount. They don't subscribe to the idea of "stronger together". Whatever they can take from someone else is a boost up for themselves. They think it's all one big competition, or warfare.
Happens in other countries too unfortunately, when you hear politicians say "stop buying avacado and toast" or "people are buying too many coffees" and they dont realise theyre talking about the above average income earners not the desperately poor.
I very much agree with the sentiment of the video, but the claim that Burj Khalifa is not connected to the municipal sewage system seems to be false:
Sounds like it is connected, but the system gets overwhelmed sometimes or has outages when they have to use trucks "only temporarily". Not as bad as said in the video, but still pretty pathetic for a country that wealthy... 😅
Oh yes, the whole thing is insanely pathetic 😅
Thanks for the clarification.
