    Alternate headline: “Person with lots of money who doesn’t have to do anything useful to survive has opinions on why people with no money should stop worrying about money”

    I honestly don’t give a fuck what someone from xitter thinks anymore. They’re obviously not the most aware people in the world.

    She might be effectively retired, but she’s worked as an actor for decades. Even on The View, she’s portraying a character for money. Fuck with Guinan at your peril.

    People don’t suddenly lose their claim to “working class” when they’ve saved enough to retire. She worked as an actress for decades to get where she is now.

    Why don’t we go tell Tim Walz that twenty-plus years enlisted and working as a teacher means he was never working class, just because it didn’t leave him poor in the end?

      She ain’t Gainan, and she lost touch years ago. She spent a View episode with then-mayor DeBlasio whining about bike lanes in Manhattan, when more than half the city can’t even own a car and she was being driven into the city for tapings. No sympathy.

    People like whoopi go to diddy party’s. She needs to say either she’s a working class sympathizer or empathizer. She not working class don’t pretend you are.

    But she does work? In truth there are two classes: working class and owner class. Doctors, actors, pipe fitters, bus drivers, etc are workers. They are paid for what they do (and who they are). Landlords, investors, etc are owners. They get paid for what they have. Maybe she doesn’t have to work and is out of touch, but I have more in common with her than I do with Peter Thiel

      Maybe there’s a third class. People paid for who they are seem closer to people who are paid for what they have than to people paid for what they do.
