1. It was in part a response to Saya's webcomic that seemed to be retort to my own tongue in cheek post about generational wealth. It was to affirm that yes, things used to be very bad. I posted a small list of protected classes to show that there are clear differences between the world 2 or 3 generations ago and the current one.
2. Factors such as access to education opportunities and jobs can be withheld based on financial means, in very direct ways. Factors like credit score or immediate vicinity property values in the case of ownership. That doesn't even have to pretend be subtle or insidious, it is out and proud - you get a flat out no because one's economic standing isn't up to par. (really interesting filter here)
