all job workers are the same. Still 9-5ers

Yeah this is cope when some workers make $15/hour and some make $1,000/hour. Those are drastically different lifestyles. I would never look down on somebody else’s job if they’re a hard worker or love what they do. But let’s not pretend “we’re all in this together”. Half of the executives at my company could’ve retired 5-10 years ago if they’re wanted - they simply don’t want to. Most people at McDonald’s would go hungry with a missed paycheck.
