Reddit/HN/X/etc are jam packed with tech workers with $hundreds of thousands of dollars in tech equity. I'm not sure what you're talking about, this board is quite literally the highest income community on the internet.

Given the tone of your comment, it doesn't sound like reasoning from first-principles logically, but instead reasoning from an emotional feeling and working backwards.

It sounds to be like you're hoping for the AI bubble to burst so you can experience the schadenfreude of the "technically incompetent dumb investors" you despise losing all their money.

Hoping for emotional validation is not a very convincing argument that it is happening right now imo.

Every criticism of the wealthy is not always driven by jealousy. And classifying it as such is also a logical fallacy. Maybe engineers are tired of being told what to do by people who don’t understand what they do. Which I’ll admit is a form of resentment. But again that doesn’t make me wrong. Time will tell.
