What really matters is actually feeling that superiority when you get on a subway with the peasants.

Economy for fun. Mmmm, kinky. Make sure you have a safe word.
I just checked LinkedIn. She's a real person and this is a real post and there are 83 other real comments from her contacts agreeing with her and praising her. WTF.
Linkedin is the absolutely worst shithole socialmedia that has ever been created. 4chan is more down to earth. The idea in the beginning was great. Make it easier for people to create a network in order to get hired. Unfortunately that just leads to the nastiest of asskissing of capitalism in order to get seen.

It's so confused. "Subway instead of drive" sure, because it's faster and easier. "Flying like a sardine instead of a human" what are you trying to prove?
I'm a 1,90m dude, not particularly slender, bigger than 95% of humans out there. I fly economy most of the time (every time I have to pay for it myself). Sure you don't get a suite, but what sardines are you talking about? It's really not that bad. Get some videos on your phone, noise canceling headphones, and it's just fine. It's really not worse than my own car, space wise.
Flying at peak time with airport security sucks already. Then the small seat just makes it worse. Admittedly, it does suck a little less now that seats have screens.

Entrepreneur, your parents are rich, got it. Linkedin influencers, is there a more useless idiot?
Damn imagine flying economy. With the peasants /s
Probably flew premium economy. Or at the very least, still got priority boarding with mileage status.

It's nice to take a break from the whisper networks of power players

Ironically probably written with genAI
I mean, getting rich people to reduce their waste output isn’t the worst thing in the world.
Definitely better than the “wE aLl HaVe ThE sAmE 24 hOuRs” hustle grindset nobody-wants-to-work bullshit.
If she is rich, she ain't doing it
She is likely though just a normie cosplaying being in the club
The we all have the same 24 hours thing is so true! From a different angle though
Some of us need to take care of children, or perhaps elders. Cook food. Commute to work and back while the boss has home office privileges because he "works so hard".
We all have the same 24 hours, but some of us have obligations we can't offload, or aren't rich enough to offload.
Same energy:
This would be a lot more meaningful if she did that old trope and straight-up switched places with someone for the day. Eat what they would've eaten, travel how and where they would have traveled, stay where they would have stayed, and have the same amount of daily spending money they would normally have had (and if that number's zero, welp, guess it's good she's such a hard worker. I'm sure she she'll be fine.)
Dear Ms. Mah,
It's nice to want to understand what it's like to be a poor person, but you know what would actually help poor people? Sharing a bit of that excess you clearly enjoy. Come back and brag after you do a bit of that, then maybe we could talk.
Sincerely,
Economy-flying, home-cooking, subway riders.
Basic, indeed.
Insufferable.
Oh really? If you're really so down to earth, eat this hot pocket.
They got rid of the motherfucking crisping sleeves! I'm pissed.
Wow you live life. How thought provoking. Meanwhile I am enjoying cheap ramen watching chefs eat amazing Spanish cuisine and.....
Now I've read the second part. Go be in wild nature for a month without digital devices or spent 2 weeks somewhere far out.
I needed to get humble when I was a pre-adult. It changed me, I wanted it to change me. Happy I got the opportunity to do so.
People like this??? I am at loss of words. All the things she describes are not thrilling at all (for me). It seems like some people are a "person" instead of a "human". IDK how to explain it but it really is like that.
The real life person from Pulp's Common People, still a banger.
Flying non-economy is just way too expensive. People that cannot be uncomfortable for a single flight so they'll pay double the price do not need that kind of money.

This post was a bit of a roller coaster, and I’m still trying to decide what I think about the full linkedin text.
what really matters
If they really matter, why don’t you make decisions that prioritize that stuff over your career and hollow social status?
Words vs actions. Tale as old as time.
But then for some reason I clicked on the LinkedIn link others shared. Most of the way down the post I saw these paragraphs that make me think there may be hope for her yet:
I’ve sold off so many things I didn’t need—including a sports car that, truthfully, just made it harder for people to connect with me. And harder for me to connect with myself.
I made a conscious decision: I want to live a life centered around the fundamentals. Real relationships. Honest work. Good food. Movement. Curiosity. Quiet. Integrity.
It’s a journey I’m still on, and I’m far from perfect. But I can feel the shift. And I think others can too.
I am way down this road myself. But I haven’t sold off any sports cars. In fact, I think I might acquire one. For good reasons of course, including connecting better with myself any my family. I like driving and my son likes windows-down joyrides. Might have to replace the Mazda3 with an MX-5!
