"Although my personal experience won't have any effect on your view, from my perspective you are elitist, cruel and unrealistic - not a leader."
Homeless, jobless, penniless. Your personal experience? That was mine at twenty.
Now, harsh reality. People want to live life easy.
Life isn't.
So, bitch and complain.
You must live according to your own means. You have to live where you can afford and it might mean living where you don't want to. Living with less and living with nothing.
Why do all those poor folk from South of the border come to the US? How far are they willing to go and with nothing (even with little or no English).?
Guess they had it easy and gave it all up just to come to the rotten North.
How often do we hear, they came here for a better life, are at least trying, raising a family, they're not the bad people.
Well, there seems to be a lot of belly aching from citizens who can't see that the Southern destitute are doing better than they are.
There is work to do and cheap places to live. Nobody is saying it's great, but it's all there. Why are Americans looking down on where they don't want to live or work.
Over 99% of US citizens live above the international poverty line.
All you have to do is make the poverty line anything you want it to be to be considered poor in the US.
From homeless, destitute, penniless, no assets but the shirt on my back to made a difference because nobody else was going to do it for me. Damn, I was the less than 1% below the International poverty line. Get to that point and you begin to count what suffering is.
Guess anecdotal doesn't count.
This is America's legacy.
You don't see too many people parsing out which Germans were Nazis and which weren't.
In the world's eye, we're all MAGA.
Congratulations America.
