Rich people say your car doesn't need to be a Lamborghini, a Toyota Corolla is fine. Yet, rich people buy Lamborghinis. A Toyota Corolla is a worse car by xyz criteria. Clearly having a better car is very important for becoming and staying rich, and the wealthy are undermining the poor with their "you don't need a sports car" posturing.
I think it would be helpful for you to reread the article, specifically:
> Norms were loosened around being an absentee father. So more men took the option.
> But nobody wants to admit it because it upsets people.
> Instead, we retreat to discussions of poverty and economics because talking about family and parenting makes people feel weird and judgmental.
> But young men will only do what’s expected of them.
> And a lot did use to be expected. There were social norms to work hard, provide, take care of loved ones, and so on.
> Today, these norms have largely dissolved.
> Young men have responded accordingly.
