I know I’m no saint, my phone is made up of components collected by slaves, it should cost 10,000 dollars. The people that run these companies are profit driven just like the rest of us. We make a distinction on what’s allowable not by what’s right necessarily but what will allow us and those directly surrounding us more happiness and material goods.
The issue now is we’re stuck in a loop where the rich hoard all the influential power and those at the bottom have no choice but to settle for crumbs. While we’re fighting amongst each other for scraps they make the decisions that will continue to hold the majority down.

There's so few people left on the planet that truly cannot change their lives for the better. Most of the "lower class" keep themselves there more infinity times more than rich people oppress them

With the lower class I'd imagine it's more like an abusive relationship. Where you are unaware how shitty the situation is because you depend on the abuser for the status quo. no matter how shitty that might be.

I agree with this for the most part. Not gonna upload my W2 on the shroomery but you're gonna have to take my word for it, with my current annual income believe me I now fall into the lower class. I had a job years ago for a company that folded where I was getting middle class money, but that's becoming a distant memory now.
I don't blame anyone else but myself for my current situation. No life isn't fair -- it's more fair for some than others, and some do get very fortunate breaks, true. But by in large whether people want to admit or not, they make their own beds.

Nobody is saying the poor cannot change their status, but the obstacles to wealth are far greater.

I definitely agree that it’s more fair to some than others. Having known a lot of lower income families I can say that people turn out a lot like their parents. They spend money the same ways on the same things, they pick up on the behaviors that adults around them exhibited and they get stuck in that cycle.
I think more financial education would be huge in helping lift these communities out of poverty. Depending on where you are there can also be a lack of well paying jobs. It’s not a lie that for the last 40 years workers wages have stagnated after adjusting for inflation while pay for large business executives have continued to increase.

I agree. Willpower, drive, work ethic, ability to not be hot headed, take direction without taking it personally, etc... Those are definitely obstacles to wealth

My PCR test was negative.
In other news, I don’t see how Texas, Florida, Arizona and California aren’t forced into a second lockdown by the end of the month. It’s unfuckkng believable these places haven’t learned a fucking thing watching what has happened elsewhere over the past four months.

Ha, took two people who aren't in the USA to point those facts out (ok, maybe not the ego, but maybe so, I don't really know...).
