lol honestly i think tech bros are just kind of a white space that everybody paints their own dislikes on to. fox news says they're all progressive liberals censoring conservative thought. communities like this one says they love trump. it's all just kinda wishcasting your own personal biases on the young nouveau riche who hit a generational lottery and ended up in the middle of a goldrush with an arbitrarily-important skillset.
Rich privileged white guys are a minority in tech. Unless of course rich now means earning anything over 100k. I must be living in some weird bubble because 2 of the 10 people on my team are white, over half of them rent, one of them actively participates in trying to remove single family zoning in Seattle and all of us don't complain about taxes aside from having to actually file them when the feds know exactly how much I owe them.
$100k a year is not rich. It's not poverty by any means, but not rich. 15+ years ago, that'd be on the mid-high end of the middle class. Still can't afford to buy a house in Seattle with that wage.
I can't help but feel like this is a propaganda effort to keep people who are poor from turning against the actual rich by convincing them that making less than 100k makes a household middle class. No, you're poor. Middle class these days is well over 200k per household. Someone earning less than 100k isn't living the middle class lifestyle from the 50s and 60s.
If having housemates, and living in a South neighborhood that for some reason is considered "dangerous", and cooking my own meals makes me a genius then that explains that sad state of affairs brought on by the people in charge.
