I was talking about those people. Was that not clear?

I was being sarcastic because I was replying to a person who said that avoiding poverty was simple, all you have to do is get a job.

I don't see what any of your comment has to do with this.

This is an interesting tactic: try to forcibly shift the conversation in a completely different direction, and then criticize the other person when they don't follow. I can't say it's working, but it's not a bad attempt.
