At least Scrooge McDuck isn't portrayed as having a healthy relationship with wealth.

All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.

In this hypothetical situation, if you can't imagine a fanciful depiction of a pig doing it, then it isn't a job. But the opposite isn't necessarily true. Just because you can imagine a fanciful depiction of a pig doing it doesn't necessarily mean it is a job, just that it could be.

Isn't there a very famous children's story about a pig that is more equal than the other pigs?

I once saw someone read a Metallica song to their kid as a bedtime story.

Am I missing the obvious sarcasm that is somehow not mentioned? as in this pig is an obvious CLASS TRAITOR for being a pig that sells parts of (presumably) other pigs?

How am I supposed to imagine a clothed pig splicing fiber cables or setting up a rack full of communications equipment with fiber patches. They don't even have opposable thumbs, how can they unplug an LC plug with its retention clip?

If my job isn't real I'm taking the internet down with me, then he can read his hand drawn memes to his neighbor.

I dare you to find a job that can't be portrayed like that.

Hacker Pig? sure!

Neo matrix Pig? Sure

Politician? Almost indistinguishable

Holywood Director Pig? Nearly by default

Slaughterhouse Pig... NGL, that hits different, but still, I can see that.

The whole term sprung up when founding black panthers were studying police methodologies and found a precinct that used a pig as a mascot.

If I paid more attention in English class I could make this into an essay. Something about the "dog eat dog" nature of capitalism and the expectation that you will do it with rosy cheeks. The use of the butcher pig is an interesting take on the idiom as the harsh competition is often thought of as between faceless firms; rather than a blue collar worker. If I was a cultured pig I might have even watched the motion picture "Soylent Green" and weave it into the essay. Is the butcher aware of what goes into the grinder? Could it be that this pig is a revolutionary and is eating the rich pig?
