    Because having a personal assistant that cooks for you is kinda creepy and weird for normal people. Rich people doing rich stuff as usual…

      Pretty normal for middle-class people in some parts of the world.

        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%.
