#4 Sort of like white boys trying to be gangsters in the hood?

Poverty in America is predicated by four primary aspects

- Alcohol and drug abuse
- Procreating before you have the means to put food on the table, clothes on your back, and a roof over your head
- Blowing off real education opportunities
- Doing the same stuff that your parents, grand parents, great grand parents did to limit their opportunities in the world

They are victims of their own human free will. If you don't believe in human free will, then you'll be a very happy prol in an oppressive controlling hierarchical system cause that is the alternative.

#7 A Jacobin Scotsman, MacDougal,
Helps Alphabet's geeks to be frugal:
How the nondairy flows
In their new LEED hameaus
As they grok getting by on a googol!

"Ramen? Little Debbie?"
"Like, choose? Hella plebby!"
"So, dude, this is totally Bruegel."
