That would be because the person telling you to stop eating avocado on toast is sitting on their superyacht at the time.
In other words, the narrative is driven by billionaire media moguls who see you as a means of production, not a human.
You could afford to underpay your workers from your yacht, too if you skipped your first 1500 trips to the coffee shop every morning
Because it's not the employees who own the newspapers
It's always been a double standard. There's a list of things that are 'classy' if you're rich and 'trashy' if you're poor.
