First they came for the weavers, and I did not speak out — because I was not a weaver.

Then they came for the artisans, and I did not speak out — because I was not an artisan.

Then they came for me, and I started screeching and coping — because now I might have to get a heckin' blue collar job!

My GF earns more money selling her hand made weaves than the average senior SWE at google.

When did they come for the weavers?

Assuming a senior SWE there probably makes around $500T I guess your GF would need to sell one woven item for $2,000 every week day for the whole year to come close to that? That seems like an amazing amount of work, is she a spider perhaps? ;)
