Capitalism gonna make that happen. Have a rare skill? Guess you get paid a ton for it.

I don't understand why this is surprising enough to warrant an NYT article. (Except that the NYT seems to regularly post things that are aimed at disrupting solidarity. Wealthy workers are still workers. We should be looking for ways to get them to have solidarity with us, not villainizing them. )

Top lawyers aren't "workers", while they may do some amount of work they are also the owners of their own business (partners) and employ others.
Yeah, that's not going to happen. Lawyers aren't going to have solidarity with workers.

What's a lawyer's goal? To make partner. That's not the kind of goal that moves you toward solidarity with the masses.
