There goes civilisation...

I don't have a buffer against redundancy.... And as I recall, we are the ones whose jobs are at the most risk.

It's true, plenty of people work as hard as I do... or at least they do now that they're in the real world... because they certainly didn't, back when they were in school, because I kicked most of their asses back then. I suspect I'm getting paid more than them because I didn't slack off when I was a kid.

I never used the word "commoners". I despise the implicit arrogance in that word. But you seemed rather clueless as to the sort of lifestyles that bankers lead, so I decided to give you an example from personal experience.

Your original argument was about putting money aside each month to insure your future.
The cleaners who tidied up shit round Lehmann's office are also redundant.
It's true that you didn't use the word commoners, but that was certainly the implication of your use of "council estates"
I never "kicked anyones ass" at school, I never felt the need. I hope some one kicks yours soon.
