I find social mobility, as it seems to exist in the imagination of establishment politicians and think-tank wonks, to be such an unappealing concept. I have very little desire to advance in front of others as part of some constant zero-sum game, to become even more debt-saddled, overworked, and generally unfree; and for what? A few extra toys and gadgets? Some ephemeral sense of status? Why can’t I just live a happy, comfortable, dignified life where I am? #capitalism #class #Socialmobility
