          My middle-class parents had servants in the 60s (America, the South). They basically had “mammies” to cook and clean and raise the girls. LOL, like my useless mother ever had a day job. (Is “mammie” racist now?)

          I’ve thought of offering a deal to a homeless dude. “You can stay at my camp and do as you please, just do a little work here and there, make yourself scarce when I come around.”

          Would that be weird?

        When lemmy rails against “the rich” I doubt many have experience with the actually “wealthy”. Having servants living in separate quarters on your property is wealth. That kinda person is far above the 1%.
