This is the media trying to make it seem like the working class is in a similar situation as the oligarchs which could not be further from the truth. BS cope that dumb people fall for.

It reminds me of early covid when all the celebrities were having meltdowns from not being given attention at all times and started posting about how COVID was "the great equalizer".
