Last Social class blog

The privileges that wealth carries are seemingly immense, and they certainly give you great head start. It's a get out of jail card, a "hall pass", and also a nearly impenetrable safety bubble. When you have the money to back you up in a court case, depending on how clean the stem is, you can pay the judge or a member of the jury for your innocence, and if you do wind up in jail, you or your family can literally pay your way out of jail. Also, unlike the rest of the flock, you don't always have to justify your cause, like in school, a student "hall monitor" wont question a faculty member, they know that faculty are superior..but another student on the other hand, they'll ask to see their pass, because they're smaller. Nothing can really hurt you when you're rich, you have access to great hospital care, you won't necessarily be alarmed by a slowing down of a business, something breaks, it's fixed. Being wealthy is almost like being handed immortality.
