Its fascinating to see the post under it, there's some class collaborationism at work. I always find it interesting when people from the upper classes or ruling class take on like worker affectations, like cowboy hats or trucks; and when people from a working class or educated middle class, who is exploited but still sees collaboration with the ruling class as a means to their own success, because believe me "Real Estate Negotiation Expert" is an aspirational job title, kiss ass or signal that they can be relied on to step on and over their peers.

The aspirational middle manager who jumps in the comments for a CEO getting Adventuretime'd offering "deepest condolences", as well as offering the same sympathy to a victim of their own class in the event of a tragedy, is the rarest butterfly of all.
