Almost all people will put their own well-being above yours. This isn't a trait exclusive to the upper-class.

Yeah if we're both in the same situation maybe but my income Vs your well-being is a different thing isn't it?

I can accept to be a bit less comfortable to help you live in less horrible conditions.

In an ideal world we'd all treat each other how we wish to be treated. I try to do that in every interaction, not always successfully. But we saw during covid that there are hundreds of millions of selfish-ass people. People that wouldn't even temporarily give up haircuts or Starbucks to potentially save someone's life. Hell man, they wouldn't even wear a thin piece of cloth across their mouth and nose to potentially save people's lives.

I guess I'm saying that I agree with you, but many people don't... at least not in practice.
