Depends on how wealthy I'd be. With enough money it wouldn't be difficult to elevate the ones I like and hire guards to oppress the ones I don't. It's literally how the entire concept of royalty, nobility, and nation states/government came into being in the first place. As for the alternative, anyone choosing to be poor has literally never been poor. And are likely naively counting on some of those wealthy to be extremely charitable or at least treat them like a pet and buy stuff for them. --- "This calls for a particularly subtle blend of psychology and extreme violence." --- Vyvyan, The Young Ones <cite>CynicalZealot posted [p:967142571] in Be poor an...

Straughan 08/07/22 4:36:59 PM #6:	I lived both rich and poor growing up. Mom rich, Dad poor. Then again, if you call 250 acres, a 3-story house, 10 dogs, 30 chickens, 20 goats, and 1 cat... 3 cars 3 meals a day, TV in every room poor... maybe you haven't seen poor. But that's what my brothers kept telling me. The poorest I ever lived was sleeping in a barn as a farm hand as a kid helping relatives. And the only thing that bothered me was sweating at night. Thankfully we had mesh bug covers. Can't say the same foe the poor sheepies. That's one reason this stream always calms me. I miss the babies. Lots of people don't know how sweet sheep are.

DietSchmendrake 08/07/22 6:16:11 PM #9:	T0ffee posted... So you've never actually been poor. Got it. I used to crunch my shoes on broken soldiers every goddamn day walking to and from school. Had a screwdriver at the front door to the complex so you could pop that shit out of your shoes and not track broken glass everywhere. Junkies used to crash 2 feet from our back door. I once watched a homeless man stab a prostitute over a disagreement I was too young to understand. I grew up on east colfax. South park did episodes about how shitty the neighborhood I grew up in was. And the worst part about it was the neighborhood. Going hungry for a night or two was preferable to getting held up for my fucking nonexistent lunch money or watching someone die, or listening to a group of crackheads try to break into my house.

adjl 08/09/22 1:05:26 PM #18:	Generally speaking, dividing neighbourhoods by SES is a bad idea regardless of who goes where. At one extreme, you get ghettos. At the other, you get gated suburbs that disproportionately influence city planning in their favour at the expense of every other region (often actually making it worse for themselves because car-centric infrastructure also sucks for cars). Addiction, crime, and all the other issues associated with the poor are heavily influenced by the environment those involved grow up in: If you actually have parks and passable scenery and functional schools and readily available basic services and community activities, people are much less likely to be so miserable that they resort to drugs or criminal shenanigans just to feel something. That shithole you grew up in? It's a shithole because a bunch of rich people insisted that it not be anywhere near them. There are more factors to the issue than that, obviously, but the bottom line is that actually trying to solve the problems of homelessness and poverty is going to do a much better job of fixing those issues than pushing them somewhere else will. For all you complain about the problems you faced growing up, you've grown up to become part of those problems instead of trying to solve them. --- This is my signature.

Or income doesn't effect crime rates? Or she just feels safer in a neighborhood with higher crime rates? She did openly admit to having a history of gravitating toward abusive relationships so that does totally stack up. I donno, but whichever one it is yall totally got me though. You win, and I lose.

[t:80122063]...</cite> <quote>Naw, y'all got me totally dead to rights. Jen just lives in the one low income neighborhood that doesnt have elevated crime rates. Or income doesn't effect crime rates? Or she just feels safer in a neighborhood with higher crime rates? She did openly admit to having a history of gravitating toward abusive relationships so that does totally stack up.I donno, but whichever one it is yall totally got me though. You win, and I lose. Whatever it takes to get adjl to stop trying to have a semantics argument with me again lol.</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

Nightwind 08/09/22 2:46:44 PM #35:	How wealthy? I'm sure I could, I don't know, build apartments, put every poor around me into one, grow community gardens, feed them and make jobs for every single one of them, either bodyguards, groundskeepers, gardeners, maintenance, building more buildings to continue to expand my empire. Dig wells, put a sewage leach field downwind, and do everything needed to make a tiny paradice. Though of course always keep enough of a fund set asside to buy out anybody who wants to leave, make sure they go with full pockets and a new place to be already picked out. Hilariously, nobody said I have to live in the mansion, I'll be just as happy in one of the apartments. --- Nightwind "the wind has no destination" <cite>Nightwind posted [p:967190504] in Be poor an...

We talked about the income level and your desire to continue living there. I just used my brains that I have like a person to infer the stuff about crime. Weird right? Edit: Entirely possible I'm not scaling properly. I'm just judging by the way people cry about the death of the middle class, their waning standard of living and the widening of the wealth gap. but hey, if it's really not all that bad then I guess all those people are just whining for free shit. <cite>DietSchmendrake posted [p:967190530] in Be poor an...

adjl 08/09/22 2:52:19 PM #40:	Eh, I'd say that crime rates are intrinsic enough to the question at hand that it can be inferred that you considered your local crime rates and decided that they aren't high enough to be a problem for you (which is most likely true, given that you still live there despite having the means to move). It wasn't explicitly addressed, but presumably it's already factored into your opinion. Now, the assumption that this either means your area has near-zero crime or that you enjoy living in a high-crime area is an example of Schmen's typical black-and-white thinking. That is indeed weird to infer. --- This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. <cite>adjl posted [p:967190622] in Be poor an...
