[NO-SPAM] Income Inequality

[Mr. Zhu]

the real problem was how every other house dealt with the same situation. my friends, some of whom werent on welfare and had two working adults in the house, would get their water cut off, get kicked out of their rentals, and any number of other bullshit because they were dumb and wasteful. so yes, your blanket statements about the poor poor pitiful poor are just junk moralisms that pay no heed to what actually goes on in the real world

i have plenty of sympathy for the truly poor who are better than their circumstances, but they are few and far between. i reserve the right to give no sympathy to idiots who engage in a LIFESTYLE that keeps them poor, and yet cry for more handouts as if thats what ails them. this includes idiots who dont get a decent education because they decided african american history was an interesting major but completely ignore that its not a marketable skill, and then take to the streets crying about the super rich keepin em down. its not my fault that people are increasingly sitting in ivory plastered funhouses to the tune of 20k a year.

Wow.. You wanna talk about the real world? Fact is at least half of the babies born in third world countries don't live through birth because of malnutrition. Fact is at least 70% of the babies that survive eventually starves to death.

You're hilarious in your typical American thinking in that you think the USA is the world, fuck that, income inequality is an international issue in every country in the world and some more than others. The "idiots who engage in a lifestyle that keeps them poor" are the few and far between, not the ones that are literally scouring in sewers looking for food and trying to survive.

Let me tell you a story, I went to the Dominion Republic in my senior year in high school to help a certain community build a school. While we were there we brought many things to them that they would consider "luxuries" when in fact it was really just bottled water and some candy. Anyway, it was kinda my fault when I gave my favorite little kid a little souvenir to remember me by and I witnessed him get attacked by another little kid because of that. The kid that assaulted him were from the same community that we helped feed and I recognized him. To that little kid there was no problem to assault that kid and take his souvenir and he adults completely unsympathetic because in Dominion Republic it's literally whoever can hurt or kill the other wins the souvenir which was a small thing, yet it was like the Holy Grail to them. It makes me sad to see there are places in the world that things are this way because of their living conditions.

Meanwhile... Some idiot sits inside his air-conditioned office, sipping his premium coffee and typing up some blog that's telling people to get an education har har.

In China, even many intellectuals who have great education gets abused by corporate giants into becoming poor. The gap in the rich and the poor in China is ridiculous to compare, and all of the peasant class people are just as hard-working if not more. They're not poor because they've decided to purchase i-gadgets or be "wasteful" whatever that means, they're poor because of their government and local/international corporate giants abusing them. (Insert comment about the irony of China being a communistic nation).

Sure, sometimes there are the hobo on the street that got there for smoking crack, but you take those and look at the people that are suffering in third world countries and you realize that there's a jackass in the world but there are entire nations too poor to feed its people. I know I may have flown off the track a little bit about the income thing with my Dom republic story, but it just grinds my gears that Pinky can be so insensitive and so arrogant to say that all poor people are poor by choice.
