A Brief Communist Rant

The city dwelling bourgeois demands cheap labor to deliver their fancy lattes and serve as their doorman, but they certainly do not want affordable housing in their neighborhood where those service people might be able to live, as that would be near suicide for property values. Those poor bourgeois. Meanwhile, we non-salaried, minimum wage workers are stuffed miles away from the people we service in unsafe conditions (see Harlem and the Bronx at the service of Manhattanites), so as to not create an eyesore. This arrangement works out quite nicely for the affluent, as they get the service they demand without any low income spillover. Oh to be bourgeois!
