Yeah, but then their wealth barometer is poorly calibrated. Then they are living in a bubble.
In my unskilled job, white collar workers totally ignore me, treat me like I don't exist.
It doesn't surprise me that they take their office job and their Tesla and their nice appartment for granted.

Likely they're thinking "I'm middle class, I'm not rich"
Like if you're saying "look at them in their Tesla" (which is mid price for an electric car) They're likely going "look over there, they have a new Porsche"
There's probably a tipping point into "I'm rich"
But yeah, it's the shittyness of capitalism that the inequality gap keeps growing and billionaires seem determined to take money from the poorest rather than pay their fair share of taxes
I put it down to human nature. If we had Communism, we'd just get Stalin in his dacha.
