Hello, my friends,
I came across this post today: What’s Behind the Rising Inequality of Everything?
I understood it talks about the rich getting richer, greedy lobbying, government cronyism, but... does anybody ever talk about the poor getting poorer by their own means?
Let me explain myself: the laziness, guys smoking pot, girls getting pregnant in their teenage years, avoiding school, drinking booze Monday early, ignorance. I'd argue most of the time is not the richer getting richer, it's the poor people by their own initiative getting poorer. Example: my neighbor owns his own house, and I asked him "would you like to own many other houses and live off rent?" and he said, "if I can sell this one and live off my job I'd be just fine!"
He's gonna eat his own worn-out shoes when he gets old.
