Pretty sure the answer is the Western financial system and government-backed looting from all but the wealthiest

Rank Surname Profession Actual Difficulty & Danger Perceived Difficulty / Prestige Why?

1 Miller Miller A++ (Very High) B (High) The job was incredibly skilled, complex, and dangerous (explosions, machinery). Millers were essential, powerful, and often wealthy, but also distrusted as monopolists.

2 Smith Blacksmith A+ (Very High) A (Very High) Required immense physical strength, expert knowledge of metallurgy (a form of magic to many), and the ability to make everything from plowshares to swords. A smith was a master artisan.

3 Wright Craftsman (e.g., Cartwright, Wainwright) A (High) A- (High) A "wright" was a skilled builder of complex machines like carts and wagons. This required deep knowledge of woodworking, engineering, and geometry. A highly respected, skilled trade.

4 Mason Stonemason A (High) A- (High) Building cathedrals and castles required immense skill in geometry, engineering, and stone carving. A physically demanding and highly skilled profession with a powerful guild system.

5 Carpenter Carpenter B+ (High) B (Medium-High) A very common but essential skilled trade. Required knowledge of woodworking and construction, but was perhaps seen as less "magical" than a Smith or less "grand" than a Mason.

6 Baker Baker B (Medium-High) B- (Medium) Required skill in managing sourdough starters and ovens. It was hot, physically demanding work with very early hours. An essential but very common urban profession.

7 Taylor Tailor B- (Medium) B- (Medium) Required significant skill in cutting expensive cloth (a major mistake was costly) and sewing. A skilled but common trade.

8 Farmer / Gardner Farmer / Gardener B (High) D (Low) The work was brutally hard, physically demanding, and subject to the whims of weather and harvests. However, because it was the most common profession (~80% of the population), it had very low social prestige.

9 Cooper Barrel Maker B+ (High) C (Medium) Making watertight barrels was an incredibly skilled and physically demanding job, essential for storing and transporting everything from wine to salted fish. A vital but often overlooked trade.

10 Clark / Clarke Clerk / Scribe C (Low) A+ (Very High) This is the great exception. The physical difficulty was very low (sitting and writing). However, in an era of mass illiteracy, the ability to read and write was a rare and powerful skill. A "clerk" was a scholar, a priest, or a bureaucrat, holding immense social and intellectual prestige.

It’s the Cliques. The financial system is just the mechanism by which resource distribution is Engineered along with job interviews. We could default on the federal debt and they’d still be building Stadiuns while Losers panhandle

Also if you don’t realize most people are poor, you’re “sheltered”

Btw we paid for Europe’s defense for 8 decades because we appreciated their Curated white phenotypes but now after mass migration and phenotypic Ruination we dgaf

It's tall poppy syndrome. Everyone who looks like they're flaunting their wealth gets downvoted and consequently banned, which skews the authors of the most visible posts down the socioeconomic scale.
