| Topic | Why are people poor? |
| averagejoel 03/05/20 2:23:07 PM #128 | Squall28 posted... Poverty is solved by real science and technology. Starvation is addressed by advances in farming, storage, and transportation. Housing is addressed by finding ways to build houses cheaper. Our needs have been addressed due to invention and innovation.incorrect. there are still people in poverty. there are still people starving. there are still people who are homeless. if "our needs" could be addressed by invention and innovation alone, they would already have been addressed. capitalism as an economic system necessitates an exploited underclass. Do you think if you go back to the Middle Ages, and just "redistribute" the wealth, it would fix things for them?no, and I'm not sure where you could have gotten that idea. I have never called for redistribution of wealth. stay on topic. --- peanut butter and dick |

| Topic | Why are people poor? |
| averagejoel 03/05/20 12:33:58 PM #98 | Squall28 posted... You start as a society by teaching the importance of one's own decision. What socialist like to teach is victim mentality. You are powerless. You can't do anything about it. Instead people should focus on what they have control over. Their decisions. Their effort level. If you can do well there, middle class in attainable. (Upper class is another matter.)your solution can work for some people, at the individual level. the grownups are talking about this as the systemic issue that it is. --- peanut butter and dick |

| averagejoel 03/05/20 12:28:48 PM #94 | KILBOTz posted... I dont think what I wrote suggests I think people can just spontaneously make better decisions. I think a lot of this shit needs to be taught in schools. Like how to budget, how to apply for jobs, how to get a better job you normally need experience doing something similar already, how to fill out scholarships and apply for financial aid, the importance of investing, etc.those things will also not fix the systemic problems --- peanut butter and dick |

I consider this to be an even bigger detriment than people who spent multiple generations in America poor.I don't know if it is, and I don't care if it is I understand it's not fairI don't care about moralizing it. I gave an objective description of the system However, I busted my ass in school to get a scholarship, and worked part time all through college. Now I'm doing very well for myself.good for you. capitalism necessitates the existence of an exploited underclass. this is a systemic issue that will not be solved by more people "going after it" --- peanut butter and dick |
