    Sorry, the way you worded your post it seemed like you were equating better jobs = more wealth = better people.

    Which would be kinda icky.
    There is a direct correlation between schooling, both local and private, and the number of professional jobs that want to surround those schooling areas.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Never debated that. That just makes sense.

    All I argued was that "wealth = better people" is nonsense. Which you then clarified wasn't what you were saying. And I accepted that. I don't know what we're arguing now.

    I'm not sure. But better jobs, as in, professional jobs in STEM, normally come with higher salaries. Which would imply more wealth?

    And again, I didn't argue against that.

    I just said there's no correlation between wealth and "good people".

    Unless one's definition of "good" is, literally, "wealthy". And in that case...'Murica.
