Llados' mileurista remark sparks social media backlash

Influencer and entrepreneur Llados has once again stirred controversy with a statement about the social value of low-income workers. In a video, he claimed that "when a mileurista dies, no one misses them," a remark that has triggered a flood of criticism and some unexpected support. The phrase, delivered in a provocative tone, has peine a debate on how society measures the value of a life.

The context of the statement

Llados, known for his personal development and lifestyle advice, has been criticized numerous times for his controversial opinions. This time, the mileurista remark has been interpreted as a disdain for those earning low wages. However, some defenders argue it is a critique of a system that values people by their economic productivity. The controversy has spread across social media, where clips of the video have been shared. Moreover, in the same video, the influencer made other controversial statements, such as one related to electric cars, which have also sparked mockery.

Mixed reactions

Reactions were swift. While some label the statement as elitist and insensitive, others see it as reflecting an uncomfortable reality: in a consumer society, social recognition often depends on purchasing power. Surprisingly, some even agree with him. The discussion has gone beyond the influencer and touched on a sensitive issue: job insecurity and the lack of recognition for low-income workers.

What is most baffling is not the phrase itself, but that part of the public supports it. That says more about society than about Llados himself.
