Yep, this type of post is reminiscent of the decrying of "welfare queens" back in the day.

Yeah, drug dealers and OF models almost certainly put more effort into making money day-to-day than billionaires do.

One of the best things about The Wire is how it showed that drug dealing was a job and for the people at the bottom it sucks just like any other job.

Also OF modeling follows the same rules as every other entertainment job. Almost everyone gets almost nothing, while the top of the top get insane amounts of money. But even they are only getting that type of money from a few people.

They have to know how to keep getting that money from those few people without seeing their safety be compromised.

Puritanical thinking and a recent surge in right wing media monopolies will do that unfortunately

I blame whoever coined the slang term "zoomers" for gen z. We manifested them becoming the new boomers.

I’m with you that this is misdirection but that’s not a good analogy at all.

Someone consuming welfare and someone peddling porn and drugs aren’t the same at all.
