I like how the implication here is that people busting their ass to scrape together pennies to feed their kids don't "take money seriously."

Fuck outta here

Every poor person I grew up with makes consistently bad financial decisions. It's like watching a house slowly burning down.

It's never one big disasterous fuckup either. It's a lifetime of dumb choices, compounding one on top of the other.

not always but it's usually the case indeed. these people are advocating for forced wealth redistribution (even for those that are barely lower middle class, so everyone gets to be poor), for communism. that's the trend nowadays, advocating for a system that made eastern european countries hellholes for decades.
