Sure. We do it all the time in our society while projecting rhetorically we are better than that. Capitalism is not honorific obligationism.

When Americans feel we are all worth public healthcare I will feel Americans wholeheartedly care about each other's existence. Until then our social culture is view one another as unworthy useless meat suits.

Done ignoring my own eyes and ears. Most Americans, including many many educated ones, are low skilled, manual labor exploiting trash, codependent on kids in sweatshops so we're free to hype memes about our dumb office jobs market value or we don't get healthcare.

So yeah who is given privileges is very much coupled to market value in this shit hole country. Clutch pearls over it
