About time you stopped reading the socialist worker and stepped out from behind your narrow bigoted view and own sense of victimhood.

It's no sin to be born in the gutter but it is a terrible sin wanting to remain there

And never aspired to a life less prosaic, more intellectual or more than working to eat? Spoken like a true Gamma, what a well indoctrinated little citizen you are. I expect the Soma helps.

Yes, I think this era is no better than the Victorian era and some are so keen to touch those forelocks that they resent those that don't.

No way, put your faith in a business man, not a visionary.

There's nothing wrong with being happy with your lot Judd, I've been a cleaning most of my life my husband a manual worker, we enjoy our work and our lives. Neither of us want more responsibility at work ambition just isn't on us for that. But you'll never see happier people.

That's not a terrible sin in fact if more were like us we might all be happier doing the jobs we currently see Eastern Europeans shipped in to do.

Nothing wrong with ambition but equally nothing wrong with being happy in your more basic job.
