Union construction workers and skilled laborers/tradesmen e.g. electricians, plumbers, etc., in America regularly make six figures, I imagine it's not too different in Western Europe.
And how many blue collar workers like that do you know? Because the ones that I know all have what you apparently consider exclusively wealthy hobbies, such as boating.
You just looked at the picture, didn't read the article, much less follow up on details in the article, and now you're spinning your wheels trying to paint middle class workers in sailing cooperative as ultra wealthy.
Only about 20% other US individuals make 100k plus... By definition not middle class.
Also, i never brought up these middle class hard workers, you did to justify your argument BC maybe poors could have been on that boat so sunz2 shouldn't be dunking on them!
Either way sailing is luxury activity that hurts the orcas habitat. This has been going on for years.
These hard workers should find a different place to populute BC these orcas gonna keep destroying their luxury boats.
You labeled these them as being rich assholes who deserve whatever bad things that happened to them.
My electrician and construction worker friends will be so elated to hear that they've joined the ranks of Elon Musk, and every asshole hedge fund manager.
Would you mind creating a list of class-appropriate hobbies that they can partake in?
I want to make sure that if they get injured or killed doing one of their hobbies, that they won't posthumously smeared as class traitors who deserved it.
Yes, muh booma
