    I get to work a job I like for an above average salary because I put the effort in. I get to lead a comfortable life. It’s actually pretty great.

      because I put the effort in

      And those who doesn’t have a comfortable life must not put the effort in? The unhoused, those with medical debt, the low wage families just aren’t trying?

        I was also lucky enough to not be born in a 3rd world hell hole where terms like “medical debt” exist. I have to pay parking when I go to the hospital.

        Or are you thinking all capitalist countries are the same?

      You got a lot to learn. It seems you are still in stage of development where everything is about you. As/if when you develop, you will realize that there other people and they got their lots in life and many times no amount of personal responsibility or hard work will fix.

      When we shit on the less fortunate as it is the culture in the US, we still greating a degeneracy in the process. Homeless, drugs, abuse, etc

      Things that other countries seem to manage better with social policy and capital…

      In us we prefer to spend that cash on state aid and prison system 🤡
