Cory Doctorow made a great point on working class stuff

If you need to work for a living you're working class, if you work in an office and need to work to live then you're still working class. The distinctions drawn back when those terms were prevalent around 100 years ago obfuscate the arguments in ways that only suit the monied.

I'm a single parent who needs to work to live.

So yep, I'm working class 21st century stylee.

Not really sure how class distinction stuff works these days tbh, but feel totally justified in querying why multimillionaires feel fine about rinsing their fans or leaving them open to be fleeced by third parties.
