It's always been a double standard. There's a list of things that are 'classy' if you're rich and 'trashy' if you're poor.
Like day drinking. Speaking two languages. Having someone else raise your kids. Getting money from the government.
Flipping the script would challenge a base idea of capitalism: that the wealthy create jobs and bring economic prosperity to the masses. And we can't have that.
That would be because the person telling you to stop eating avocado on toast is sitting on their superyacht at the time.
In other words, the narrative is driven by billionaire media moguls who see you as a means of production, not a human.
You could afford to underpay your workers from your yacht, too if you skipped your first 1500 trips to the coffee shop every morning
Ah you've got it wrong. You have your unpaid intern assistant get you coffee, which they have to pay for. That's how you make the money for the yacht in the first place.
Unpopular opinion : yacht is working tool to invite "friends" and make business.
"You don't sign a million contract with a BIC pen" told someone to explain a 1000€ Mont Blanc pen purchase.
