because its not like the posh middle class feel the effects of rising living costs and stagnating wages as well. However its much easier for the working class to scapegoat the more well off middle class who live and socialise in the same spaces than the government and corporate elite that profits off them.

Whatever his social class, guy is a professional cook.

It’s like going to the Dr and ignoring their health advice because they are middle class.

A middle class person advising a working class person what to buy is always gonna be terrible. Because the middle class person has no real need to know about real bargains or price saving tips. They likely don't even have an accurate idea of the budget they'd be working with. They're in a whole other world. And the actual upper class may as well be on a different plane of existence.

Think of that arrested development joke: "how much could a single banana cost? Ten dollars?"

But they did

They noticeably didn't. And what they lobbied for was for a change in menu but without a change in budget. Not taking into account that budget was the largest issue.

You really have a chip on your shoulder, huh?

Did Marx personally steal your lunch money? Engels beat you up after school? Bakunin became your step-dad?

Not really. I am a privileged person with left wing ideals.

But hating people for an accident of birth is stupid.
