And they don’t feel strongly because they don’t have to care. I know I don’t. I could never open a newspaper or go to a protest and live quite blissfully. I’m white, I’m a man, I’m an engineer. So I’m safe. Everything seems to work just fine for me. I have friends struggling to pay rent, my girlfriend has trouble finding peers at school who will treat her like an equal, but I get an inbox full of emails all the time from companies begging to pay me amounts of money that boggle even my mind. I’m 27 and I make more than both my parents combined, of course you don’t see me fighting for a union. I can barely keep up with all the perks I already get! It’s rare to find someone willing to step outside their bubble and do work for someone else when they won’t benefit.
