The people who complain are ignorant to how truly awful it can get out there. They only know or care about their own situation. Why can’t I get ahead in New York City?! I can’t make a livable wage in NYC! I need more assistance, have you no compassion?! Must be the 1%.

Yep... there are trully miserable people even in USA, but a very big bunch of the ones on this 40% negative income wouldn't be in that if not by own choice.

A lot of them were taught to think this way, that the world owes them something. It’s not entirely their own fault, it’s a failure of public and higher education in the states. I’m in that 40%, I have debt and bills but it’s not a big deal. I just work and pay my bills lol.
