      Some people think anyone whose parents actually owned a house are “the elites”.

      No. The CEO earned more in a year than even someone with a six figure salary would earn in a lifetime.

        Family supposedly owns a country club. Prominent baltimore family. If that is so, that is definitely up there in the capitalist class and not working class. Still was rooting for him. Just would have alot cooler if was a working class guy.

          He was a white collar working class guy. His work history is full of positions at various tech companies working as an engineer. It doesn’t appear that he was handed any sort of dynasty.

          He was upper class, and he had better opportunities than your average American, but he was still a worker.
