I agree with this. The laptop class (which I am apart off) become slaves to an email inbox yet the salary we make is ridiculous to what a mechanic or a roofer.

In hourly wage it seems but it doesn’t  come close to a money manager. Why do you think the brightest minds get sucked into wall st? I think the pandemic exposed how little work traders do yet reap a tremendous rewards and profit. I think they are more unproductive than politicians and the rest of the laptop class including software programmers. 

Where I live, plumbers and carpenters make BANK. House cleaners, not so much.

You both have a great point here and I think the answer is somewhere in between.  Fiat has made a lot of very scammy things profitable.  Meanwhile many carpenters, plumbers, house cleaners sit at median income.
After a lot of thought my only decent solution is that the working people demand more.  This seems to be happening in society as we speak.  And I don't mean some type of Marxist rebellion, simply a re-balancing one working individual at a time.
