1. None of them know how to be organized. They leave their shit all over the place. This tells me that they don't care.

3. You can easily live a nice simple life in America on minimum wage. Sure there won't be any nights out to eat and such but that doesn't mean that the house has to look like shit.
4. these people fell into the kid trap before sorting themselves out financially.
5. it's easy to move elsewhere if it's really that big of a shithole.

True, I'll vouch as a liberal on this, because
>a lot of poor people are horrible with money and life choices
of this.
Only upper-middle and rich libs view the poor as either pure victims or folks who want an alternative lifestyle. The rest of us recognize that society has its dregs, but that, since they're still technically humans, we have a responsibility to take care of them.

none of these necessarily need to be luxury items, and the ones seen in the pics certainly aren't. you can get them very cheeply at any flea market.

also:
>electricity
lmao. electricity is pretty much a basic common unless you live in africa.

>They leave their shit all over the place
>these people fell into the kid trap before sorting themselves out financially.
it's well-known that these behaviours are caused largely by socio-economical factors. upbringing and education all boils down to the societal class of your parents.

>it's easy to move elsewhere if it's really that big of a shithole.
yeah, why don't they buy a big clean house in a rich neighbourhood instead?
>>
>>72386960
> I can't change the way I want to live because that wouldn't be the way my parents raised me.
That sounds awfully liberal for a guy that doesn't like liberalism
>why not move into a rich neighborhood instead?
I was thinking more along the lines of moving into a shitty apartment elsewhere where there is more of an opportunity to work above minimum wage. The dakotas hired people to drill oil for 20$/hr for example and workers needed very little requirements to work there.
>fun things aren't luxury
I don't care how simple a tv might be but it's a source of entertainment. Any source of entertainment/pastime activity is not needed and a luxury.

Everybody can put themselves in a stable position if they are willing to put in the work and all of the people you posted above don't have that drive. Instead they decided to have a kid in high school litter shit all over their yard.

Thanks, bud. Now I realize that poor people are just victims, and we should just show them the errors of their ways. They just need to be removed from their poverty circle and be reeducated, so we'll just make some camps in which we can reeducate them all! Reeducation camps sound great, right!

For the most part, you fucking idiot, yes.
Have a fucking look at how our species works.
Your formative years have more of an impact than the following 20 years. Almost no one bucks the trend. That's why when they do, it becomes an unbelievable story. Hate to break it to you but expecting everyone to be able to pull themselves out of drugs, crime, poverty and violence will never happen.

Are you saying that everybody works the same occupation as their parents did? Are you saying that everybody shares a passion with their father?

Does this mean that i blow my money on stupid shit like they did because they could? no

i don't really think you can indulge in being 'contrary' on 4chan for the sake of your own amusement and call it sincere niceness.

that's like giving someone five bucks and saying "see? aren't you glad i'm capable of altruism?"

If you are surviving in a metro area then it should be cheaper to move elsewhere. Now i don't mean rural areas but smaller cities in the state. Find a place with cheap rental and close in relation to low skill job areas such as retail stores and whatnot. The day you go there you spend your entire time job hunting. Landing a job shouldn't be too difficult with a single pair of nice clothes and a little bit of work history. Then congratulations, you have successfully gone from dirt poor in an expensive metro area to a cheaper area to live with the same wage.

>You are extremely diluted or this is trolling, wont post a serious reply.
Why am I delusional? It's true that some places enjoy a better living on minimum wage in a state because the living expenses are cheaper. The cheapest rent in my town is ~500$/mo. Minimum wage in my state is 11$/hr. After taxes I have about ~1200$ to use. Half of that goes into rent and about 300$ goes into savings. the rest can be used on food and gas and other expenses. In contrast to Seattle where I would be paying ~900$/month on rent and a significant portion of my wage is going to living expenses if not all. Big cities are a trap for people who are on their own without the financial support of their parents/ have scholarships/ somebody to help share the bill.
If you have a job that pays above minimum wage then none of this is a deal breaker in a large city and there is no issue in the first place.
>>
>>72389054
I'll just tell you my situation to get a better light on how it's possible.
I am an eighteen yr old in the library right now browsing 4chan because I can't afford internet service. I also don't pay for cable.
I work at a Home Depot retail store at minimum wage (11$/hr) full time 5 days a week.
I make 1760$ /Month
After taxes i have about 1400$
I saved up and bought a shitty motorcycle for 800$ on craigslist that gets me 65mpg
My gas expenses per month is about 60 dollars
My state doesn't require me to have insurance on my motorcycle.
I pay about 150 dollars a month on food
I pay another 100-200 on things here and there.
After all of this I have 400 dollars to save.
I also buy broken cars and fix them for more a secondary income.
I live comfortably on minmum wage.

>>72389360
>Big cities are a trap for people who are on their own without the financial support
You are still very diluted. Most poor people dont have financial support from others. They get whatever government handouts they can get then struggle making low wages the rest of the time. You need $1000++ dollars to move to another city. How can you save anything when

Great that that works for you bro.

For some people that math doesn't add up so nicely.

If they happen to be in a shitty spot, money is needed to get out of it. Unfortunately all funds are expended on maintaining the shitty spot.

Thus trapping them in the cycle of poverty.

Shit happens like family issues, sickness, romance gone bad, asshole fucked up their car and so on and so forth.

No, it costs that much to move a middle class family and their shit.
Cities are a trap, though, so people should stop living in those. Getting out is easy; most cities end at some point. Walking to the nearest cheap town should take 2 days, tops.
