I don't think you fully understand my point.
Your SO not being in tech + your income probably is $100k or more. Once you reach that point in the US, you are not materially impacted personally.
We all have friends/family/etc that are not in tech and we float them money sometimes when they are in a bind. That isn't the same thing as wealth inequality materially impacting you personally.
You see the larger impact it has on other people. And that bothers you, which is perfectly understandable. But that is a political problem rather than a personal thing at that point.
