  2. This doesn’t surprise me, people with comfortable wages are often isolated in a bubble from the rest of society and are shielded from the harsh economic realities.

  4. “… If the successful merited success, it necessarily followed that the failures had to merit their failure. In a meritocratic age, justice appeared to enter into the distribution of poverty as well as wealth. Low status came to seem not merely regrettable, but deserve” Alain De Botton, Status Anxiety.

    Anyone who was in London will remember how the poor were “cleansed” from inner London around 2010/11 followed by 14 years of relentless attack on the unfortunate and their children as deserving of their status.
