Is being poor a choice?

The illegal immigrants in every construction site who aren’t on the payroll are making even less

Cope how you will dude being poor is a choice just like being fat is

it's a mindset

It's not a "choice", most people are incapable of being more than mindless sheep. They go about their day consooming without thought and the successful people in society are forced to support their retarded ways.

In ancient times, these people would die out and natural selection would deal with their shitty genes, but nowadays they are subsidized with welfare and breed to retarded numbers.

It's going to all collapse at some point.

Not entirely

This. My mom actually wants to use her Trumpbux ($2400) to buy hurricane house insurance for a single year. I mean who in their right fucking mind actually thinks the probability of a hurricane leveling your house within the next year merits that price tag. I told her to put it all in Chainlink but she just brushed me off.

I'm a cdl driver, I make deliveries to restaurants. Top drivers can make 120k a year if they put in the work. The laborers who have no skills or qualifications can make 50k as well. It's a tough job and the turnover rate it is high, only the Mexicans seem to stay long term. this is in Phoenix btw, not some retarded high cost of living liberal city

No, some people will never be more than mediocre, that’s life

Well okay but what about first world countries

Nah. I lived like I was in poverty for ten years, saved, invested in stonks and a Roth IRA, got laid off so had a lapse in health insurance because COBRA is expensive, the coverage sucked and I was young. Got creamed by a drunk driver without insurance and medical bills before I got back on insurance bled me dry. Even if I had the health insurance I would be broke, just the state would have picked up the slack in my bills a little later.

Fuck this gay Earth.

And that "menial labor" builds wealth you brainlet.

Yes, for whoever owns the company.

You won't see me arguing that the USA isn't a fake first-world country

No

I dont think so but it is a mindset

In the United States? Yes. A literal retard could manage their way to a somewhat comfortable lower middle class lifestyle here. Of course "choice" is an infinitely contentious subject.

>In the United States? Yes.

This is a joke, right? The US has been fucking up in the area of economic stepping-up more and more for decades

>And that "menial labor" builds wealth you brainlet

Nah. Unless you want to live around crackheads and criminals then you pay half your income or more to rent, and that's if you're working more than 40 hours. Then you either have a little discretionary income or a government-subsidized kid, not both, and that's your life.

but if you're too stupid to do anything but menial labor, you are also probably to stupid to make good decisions with the little money you have

Every poor person in the States made a choice to be where they are, yes. And they deserve the potentially shitty life that follows.

If you're born with the wrong genes, the odds are stacked against you.

yes
