Who said anything about comparing?

But now that we're at it, would you prefer to compare yourself to the bottom 1%?

Yes. The bottom 1%’s clothing will always be more indicative of the average clothes of the time than the top 1%’s.

So what? TFA is not about the working class nor does it need to be. Why this fixation on comparing yourselves with the poor?

Because otherwise it's like commenting on a tabloid article about what Lizzo wore to some gala last week, which would be out of place no?
