Signals are an important thing. Especially important for those who have something to signal about.
If you're strong, agile, skilled and rich and, for example, it's the 90s in Russia now, you start signaling left and right. Gold chains, foreign cars, mobile phones. And then they'll kill you because a loud signal attracts danger.
Since time immemorial, powerful people of the planet have asked themselves: how to give a signal to your own while not bothering the poor. An oligarch-neighbor in your nine-story building is hard to recognize, but if the oligarch has golden loaves or an aqua-disco, the oligarch will get annoying attention.
But how do you let your own know about your coolness so that not everyone is afraid, only those who need to be?
In general, signals are a serious matter.
By signals you can always separate wheat from chaff. A guy who gets it will easily distinguish a woman without complexes by her nails. A chick who gets it will easily distinguish a man with a big dick by how he shakes hands or holds the door for other guys. Real rich people will easily distinguish their own.
In 2022 one of these signals became remote work. Who's remote has money. Joke.
Not everything is so simple. That's the subtlety of signals, only those who really get it will understand them. How to determine how much money a person on remote work earns?
By two factors: by how they talk about it and by how many real hours they work versus how much they actually spend on household chores.
Golden rule: if remote work is discussed as "the future", "progress", "everyone should do it" - before you is a beggar. If as "office is better", "I miss communication", but with all this the person 100% works from home - before you is a prince.
If a person claims they really work 8 hours from home, or even more, before you is a new Russian with a gold chain, aka temporary king. If a person honestly admits they spend half the day petting the cat, before you is the permanent king.
If a person has no chance to work from home, there are no questions for them either.
That's exactly how real discrimination is born: after these signals become obvious to everyone (like a gold chain today), rich people will find new signals, and poor people will try to copy the old ones.
Most people, however, will be cut off from any opportunities to get rich, primarily because:
- they'll live in big cities
- they won't have space for remote work
- they'll work a real 8-hour day
Rich people are already today moving to small towns, buying spacious houses and rebuilding them in their free time. Poor people now think all wealth is in Prague and Paris, though it's already started its journey to such assholes of the world that you can't even imagine.
Poor people try to repeat the path of those who got rich 10-20 years ago but are signaling now: they go to big cities, lead chaotic Insta-lives, hustle, advocate for healthy lifestyle, study to be techies.
Rich people marry and raise children because they can.
Poor people fight for feminism and equality because it sounds rich. Rich people got rich by spreading these ideas 20 years ago and deservedly rest in their strong monogamous relationships.
