Are there any known ways to systematically reprogram typical class attitudes (from lower to upper middle class for example)? Not superficial stuff like dress or speech or table manners. Stuff like financial habits, education plans, work ethics etc.
You’re still talking past me. I think you are assuming I’m implying the poor are lazier or something. I’m saying nothing of the sort. Just that the classes have different work ethics. Not better or worse.

Hm...it seems like you may be using "work ethic" to mean something *other* than (roughly) "level of [sustained] effort". I'd argue that's pretty non-standard, and now it's not clear to me what you meant at all.

Your sense of the term is very weird. Most uses I’ve seen simply mean an ethos of work. Like Weber’s protestant ethic. Good/bad is a further qualifier. Jobs differ in the conscientiousness, imagination, risk-taking they need. That’s what defines associated effective work ethics.
