I know, right? What a novel concept.

This is deep. Completely agree.
Parents blaming their child’s poor academics/behavioral problems on teachers comes to mind.

I hear what you’re saying. I didn’t put any examples mainly to see how people would interpret what I said in their own way. That said, I think that the overpaid (CEOs, presidents, regional managers) hold the (including their own) lowest paid workers to higher standards than themselves, but they potentially don’t even know it. “I pulled myself up by my bootstraps, and so can you.” Failing to think that maybe these workers are in a cycle of poverty, and that these “bootstraps” were actually comprised of their parents fully funding their college education and then daddy’s friends getting them their first job.

Definitely feel this sentiment can coexist with the original statement. I gave up on other people a long time ago.
