You don't think environmental factors might play in to the type of choices a 16yo gets to make?

They very much do. Which is why so many don't get out of the rut of their background. Despite teachers and all school pep talks telling them they should go to college most who don't have that in their family background don't do it.

You can give up and lose or you can try again and maybe even win. If your environment sucks that's just one more reason to improve it.

You most likely will be used to the extreme and thrown away. Lot of places don't care about who is working in low paid skilled jobs. They are as replaceable as ever. Amazon warehouses have machines doing the firing. Soon it will be your gas station. The machine doesn't get impressed unless you break your back.
And conflating poor people with being shit heads is interesting.
No wonder many worker class people feel the ire to hate big tech and workers increasingly.
