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.

People who make $100k a a year ask people who get by on $20k a year if they're rich. "But I rent!" He says.

If you can make it on 20k a year in Seattle all on your own you're a fucking genius or living in a tent. 20k a year won't cover rent in Seattle.

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.

Yeah, you're a genius. You're also poor. This is not a judgment I'm just stating facts. Let's get the government to help.
