People who pay for conveniences in order to delegate their labor these days often confuse their class/caste privileges for a sign of maturity. What you’re confusing for a sign of maturity (people cooperating with you because you are competent/ respected) is actually capitalism replacing your social connections with money. You’ll notice that’s also how they trashed the rest of your society, if you take two minutes and think about it.

    A lot of working class people create favor networks as a way to collectively perform tasks while still benefitting from the division of labor. This activity is seen going back to prehistoric times.

    Money has become a means of exchange to denote those exchanges, but division of labor has been a hallmark of humanity.
