Like last year they kept the rainbow flag profile pics up for the entire year. Now they aren’t doing it because they are fearful of some lumpenproletariat boycott. Reactionary workers are worse than pro-lgbt bourgeoisie. I’m gonna side with whoever respects the rights of trans people to literally exist and if neither are gonna do that then fuck both of them!
Yeah, that 100k is called a bribe. The cop might be well off, but his daughter will work for 26 an hour as a mental health counselor. His son will make 30/hr as an auto mechanic. Policing is not escape velocity money. It's own a home and stress about your mortgage and tuition money.
But I think you hit on a good point which is that class is ambivalent in the US, someone might depend on a wage while also employing a domestic or renting out a second home. The neoliberal credit flood and new deal subsidies account for it imo.
