    All I ever hear is “oh the poor teachers” when they get paid more than me, get way better benefits, and get away more time off. Fuck the teachers.

      Someone out there is even worse off than you, and they might be saying “Fuck agingelderly.”

      Unless they understand the actual problem, then they would be saying “Fuck billionaires” or maybe “Fuck Regan”.

      Resenting other workers because they happen to be better compensated than you is the opposite of class consciousness.

      You’re directing your hate on a group of people largely working overtime and underpaid to provide an essential service, and not the system that put both of you in a place to where you are contributing to society but not adequately rewarded for that hard work.
