      What is it with you people coming here and making the most absurd statements? Seriously fuck off back to Reddit along with your strawmen. You want to know why I’m poor? Graduated high school and studied to be an electrician,then the 2008 housing bubble collapsed so I went back to school to learn IT but nobody wanted a fresh out of high school no experience 20 something year old in an oversaturated market so all I got were shit, low paying jobs for 10 years. Now that I’ve been trying to learn programming to get out of my current dead end job for the last 18 months and the tech sector is firing off employees left and right. The economy failed. Pull your head out if your ass or stop being a corporatr shill trying to astroturf real problems away.

        I did not ask for your life story.

        “Most people are doing better” does not mean “ALL people are doing better”. Under Biden policies, most people are doing better, and that is a good thing, and if you are too goddamn selfish to care that life is improving for other people, at least take heart that Biden is working on ways to help you, too. And don’t be so goddamn stupid to think that just because it’s raining at your house, the whole world is having a monsoon.
