Is it wrong that, as a person who worked from an early age – before it was technically legal for me to do so – and actually needed the money, I’m smirking a little?
Maybe the NYT wants its readers to feel better that the far richer are also losing money. I’d imagine that for the people reading the NYT that would work better. They generally didn’t start off struggling to survive, so reading about the already poor wouldn’t appeal. They can’t all be supa-doopa rich, so being middle class and reading about how those above them on the ladder are losing money might make them feel better about their own “plight”?
