Indeed. I am referring specifically hardship experienced by an individual because they lost their job due to a pandemic. That’s not a personal failure.
not to defend him but I’m pretty sure he proudly advertises it, like “I used to be a big spender, I blew tons of cash and went broke, here’s what I learned from it so you don’t do what I did” kinda deal
Being broke helps you understand how often you have to make seemingly -$EV decisions like “I gotta just let my brakes grind for another week even if it means it will fuck up my rotors because I gotta get to work and I don’t have the cash for pads right now.”
I don’t understand the point you are making here, can you elaborate?
Poverty is cyclical and upward mobility in this country is basically shit, failures of personal responsibility or not
Nothing about poverty, but the global pandemic is as bad as it is here due to tons of failures of personal responsibility.
Oh, sorry, thought you were saying something completely different and it surprised me.
Believe me, I’m on board with the idea that poverty is baked into our system by design, and that even if someone escapes, someone else gets trapped. As such, the problem is the system, not the poor.

Seems pretty irregular. How’s the Court supposed to know if the defendant is skipping bail if they don’t even know where he’s supposed to be?
Justice is blind… to its own massive biases.

Great movie and his part was great.

I don’t know where this belongs so I’m putting it here but holy shit this is apparently real:
Delta discouraging workers from unionizing, total scumbags
I’m not a guillotine guy but…
Best headline of the year has an early favorite:
Cheque cashing places and overdraft are the best examples of the high costs of being poor.
