Lol tell that to the actively working doctors, lawyers and c-suite execs living in the fanciest neighborhoods of their respective cities that own moderate to significant controlling portions of companies

They do work in some sense. They manage resources and dispense expertise from time to time...

> own moderate to significant controlling portions of companies

... but it's a gray area because they're also part of the owning class

Lol these personas work ALL OF THE TIME. Doctors have the weirdest shift hours out there, for example. You have a few that rake in serious cash while working like 20 hours a week, but that's not the norm in these professions.
