Envy, $29 Sandwiches, and Who Democrats Actually Serve

Tim admits to his own envy of finance guys in his building, argues New York breeds envy because of ultra-wealthy residents, and separates his critique from genuinely underserved Black and working-class New Yorkers.
- Tim isn't interested in the left-right framing of the Brian Thompson CEO story; it's all the same cycle of who gets in first.
- The real political story is the envious college-educated people paying $29 for sandwiches in New York, angry they have to take orders from bosses.
- He distinguishes between people who genuinely need help and the envious educated class—Democrats don't actually help Black communities whose degradation they're responsible for.
- Tim admits he's envious too and says anyone who claims they aren't is lying—he envies finance people making more money in his own building.
- New York City breeds envy because the world's richest people live there, and they insult you in different languages and accents from all over the globe.
