It's not my fault the kids skipping class, having fun and making jokes during teacher's lessons are now paid less than me.
If that's how you think people become poor and desperate, I can only surmise that you've never had anything bad happen to you ever.
Never got sick. Never had a family member hurt. Never been the victim of crime. Never fallen on a wet floor. Never had a house fire. Never had your car break down. You always had plenty of food, plenty of money, plenty of infrastructure near you. Never had to worry about the condition of your home, or whether you'd even have a home tomorrow. Someone else paid for your education, your transportation, your entire life when you were growing up.
Consider yourself blessed. And please never run for office.
Yes, life has hardships, but please do not tell me they are the ones controlling its course and your choices don't matter.
For hardships you can buy insurance with money or time (family, friends, various organisations) but your choices are entirely your responsibility and there is no way to insure yourself against making the wrong ones.
