Some of that article was incredibly sad. #4 about considering people working menial jobs failures really hits close to home. People shouldn't be made to feel like failures no matter what their job.

Most of them are around my age, I can't imagine how it must be so tough for them to clean our offices and empty our trash while we sit here at out computer monitors all day knowing our bills are paid and we can take time off as we need.

Americans lost the capacity for empathy in large part. People just do not relate to not having it so easy. Everyone thinks they are self made and they worked so hard for all they have while totally discounting the massive advantages they were born with. If you went to college, there's a very high % chance that your parents are college grads. That is such a huge advantage people don't even consider.
