“Wealth work” is one of America’s fastest-growing industries
New?<p>Dude, work has been by the rich, for the rich, for about as far back as I know of. Probably forever.<p>It&#x27;s comparative advantage, right? You use Uber because you don&#x27;t want to drive. You use Deliveroo because you don&#x27;t want to cook. The supermarket workers earn 1&#x2F;5th what you do. The restaurant staff earn 1&#x2F;5th what you do.<p>And so on and so forth.<p>Anyone who makes the transition from working to middle class knows this intimately. Suddenly you&#x27;re on the other side of interactions.<p>Is it problematic? Sure it&#x27;s problematic. The entire economy is problematic - if everyone were upper middle class we&#x27;d melt the ice caps, faster than we do already (damn.).
