Perception has also become completely warped.

I was out with some guys last night and one of them was talking about a PJ for a golf trip. I didn't know what he was talking about so I kept quiet. I used to travel extensively for work, usually on the company plane so I've spent a good amount of time on planes all by myself with the pilots, so my Buddy who invited me to this outing started asking me questions about what it's like flying private and I figured out pj means private jet.

The guy talking about using a private jet is a fireman. I'm sure he makes a nice living but what fucking world do public service employees use or even think they should be using a private plane to go golfing? I don't even get the idea of flying somewhere specifically to go golfing, that seems like rich people shit, hiring a damn plane for it? How the hell did that even become a consideration?

Eta. I'm not shitting on public service employees. This guy probably makes more money than me and for sure has a better retirement plan LoL. I'm pointing out that this guy doesn't work in finance, real estate or an industry that you might more typically expect to be familiar and using private services along those lines.
