I am probably not what you would call a "liberal woke" but I must say I do find this sentiment rather disturbing.

This is called having self-respect

> and untouchable

I presume you thought it was about being untouchable because of their supposed woke superiority but it's been pointed out that it was just good old financial independence, being free to choose your own path and not be a subordinate.

Sometimes it's true that people do grunt work that is easily learned, but never underestimate the ability of a thoughtful person to make any thing or process better, and conversely a spiteful person to ruin everyone's day. It is really harmful to explicitly think about real people in this way.

> Give it a few more firings and this guy will be the next generation of deplorable.
