I honestly think how we treat the service industry is how many people end up treating their kids.

I think it was David Graeber that pointed out that the poorer you are the more you need to be able to empathize with your boss and clients in order to survive.

But this notion that the middle class are somehow more empathetic is interesting because I think it is based on the (correct) idea that people need to actually own something in order to be generous. However, I find from personal experience, poor people have an easier time giving what they have because they know they can survive having nothing.

It's important to understand that any argument against improving one's material conditions is going to be rightfully ignored. Better to point out that without removing the yoke of power, any concessions can be easily removed.

Yet roads and lines of communication make a socialist transition more likely. Almost like the material conditions matter no matter the political context.

Cool, now do public education and public roads.

I'm suggesting that the choice between industrialization and skilled labor is a false one because China is industrialized and has a highly skilled labor force. I agree this is because of American owners seeking profit, but it seems the same won't happen to China now that they're industrialized.
