But earning a salary that, when used well, can last several YEARS of unemployment, makes them a very different category of worker. These are the last workers that need help, of all the world's workers.

Ultimately the parent comment is about accountability. This is an extreme example, but if a billionaire kills another billionaire, would you "forgive" the perpetrator because the victim was relatively privileged compared to any other potential victim? No. That's not how accountability works. It is irrelevant here whether "even littler people" exist.
