I don't know who has rattled your chain this time, but I do believe
that there is something of the Daily Mail about your comments. I
expect that you have spent very little time in Europe since you
emigrated and that makes you ill-equipped to comment on how Europeans
as a whole go about their business, whether in the public or private
sectors.
But why comment at all? If one of us were a millionaire who didn't
need to work would you comment on that individual's good fortune or
would you grumble that "real contributors" don't have time for
photography?
I suggest that you might regard it as their own business and keep your
own counsel ...
