It pretty much is.

When you get a high standard of living you get people being incredibly petty about small things.

Come to think of it you get that with a low standard of living as well.

Middle not so much. They have other things in their lives to be petty about.

Humans are petty in general.

There was a grand opening for a drive through coffee joint in my previous town. They were giving away a FREE cup of coffee for anyone who drove up that day. It was a madhouse. Traffic backed up for miles with people waiting for their FREE cup of coffee. I can only imagine they idled away $20 in gasoline to get a $2 small coffee.

People are fools.

Good summary. True virulent pettiness seems to be the province of the comfortable and secure.

Had a college prof tell me faculty politics was the worst. The savagery was inversely proportional to the gravity of the issue.
