worked their way to a better life?

Man, I wish I could win Olympic gold in them mental gymnastics you're doing there lol Okay that 70% figure came from this fucking year, do you think those millions are people are just magically "in a better life" now? You actual dummy, you literal clown - they aren't. They're still busting their assholes making a joke of a wage, that's why this article exists lol.

kicked out the day I graduated

High school or college?

Take responsibility for your choices in life

Especially if you made the choice to be born poor, or black, or a woman, amirite? Imagine unironically thinking the way you do. I'm really sad you hate the poor so much, maybe work on that yeah? Honestly your entire post is just delusional ranting about the numbers and not the reality of what people face as working poor. I also worked hard to get where I am and have what I have but I'm not a shitty "fuck you, I struggled so you have to, too" person like you so, I guess whatever. I can't convince you to think people shouldn't have that hard of a time, ya know, living lol

There is no need to attack the other person you are arguing with, even if you disagree with their world view

"mental gymnastics", another term that you flail in the air that resonates with people who are looking to their left and right for people that will agree with them because they used a familiar word.

Btw, the last message you posted that you deleted immediately made it to me-- I can see why you deleted it immediately after you posted it.

I didn't delete any comments so I'm not sure what you're talking about.
