I do have empathy for the poor. I used to work at a Shell gas station and I've talked to all kinds of people from Land Rover high rollers to drug addicts buying glass roses.

When you talk to the people flipping burgers in America, youll see a whole spectrum. And when you see these people earning a minimum wage and waste their life smoking weed, modifying their cars with shit they can't afford and playing video games all day, I have zero empathy for them. There are people that want to improve and I've had several conversations how they can't afford education or vocational school or any sort of apprentice practice. I have a lot of empathy for them.

If you don't understand why people would rather waste their life vs work up the ladder, you have a very poor understanding of what it means to be poor in America.

Surprise surprise, the person who claims they "understand" or "empathize" for the poor actually has no empathy or understanding at all! Really just confirming my original point. HN users have no idea what is going on.
