He’s definitely speaking to them, because he knows he can grift from them. They’re who gave him the $200,000,000. It wasn’t the poor, it was the people who have enough money to invest it wisely for a comfortable retirement and instead waste it on the advice of “finance gurus” like him.
The historical usage of the word is a meaningless distinction that is outdated and kinda irrelevant to the point.
“Bourgeoisie” might have once referred to those who were “middle” class in a world between extreme poverty and aristocracy. That particular setup has long since changed while the word was still used. It has a couple hundred years of usage making it perfectly valid here. It always referred to a merchant class who owned and were not poor.
Some asshole being paid to call an entire generation lazy and saying they don’t work absolutely fits.
He’s sitting around on stage being well paid to act the part. Your classification of his net worth is as irrelevant as 300 year old semantics on the internet.
This guy isn’t bourgoisie. That means ‘middle class.’ He’s full-on rich investor class. His net worth is $200 million.
Which means he doesn’t work much.
Fair, I edited the post. I guess he’s speaking to the bourgeoisie who punches down and down.
