“Disagreeing” is when people support pedophiles and you don’t and that makes you privileged apparently

Lmao that’s just literally not true. Median base pay for the trades tends to be around $60k-$64k.

blatantly false claim, and it doesn't automatically mean they aren't poor anyway. my uncle (electrician) made like $140k/yr but only because he lived near an expensive city where he got a ton of work at a high pay rate. he had to live very frugally and minimally despite making more than many in the country

Linemen, oilfield workers,plumbers, electricians, etc make over 100k. So yeah it’s true.

It’s not a false claim. 140k/yr is over the median average household pay. If your Unlce was poor then that’s due to personal choices.

“people are only ever poor due to things they can control” Moronic type of logic

those professions don't make up the majority of blue collar work. you said "majority". obviously some people make above the median. that's how medians work ding dong $140k is well above the median household income, but it doesn't matter because that's a reflection of *all* jobs not blue collar jobs. you're conflating you're just wrong, from top to bottom. literally just wrong about everything

never said my uncle was poor? #4 if you make $100k but the bare minimum to live in an area is $250k you're poor relative to that area. you get that right?

All personal choices have an impact on people’s financial situations. Your choices lead to whether or not you are poor or rich.

“He had to live very frugally and minimally” that’s an implication of being poor. There is no area in the USA that the bare minimum living median is 250k a year.

Anonymous #4 7w

incorrect. the implication is that having a high income doesn't mean it's high relative to where you live, which for *most* people *will* mean poverty

frugal doesn't mean poor. you know that right? that's like saying somebody who's conservative with their spending is poor. if anything he probably fared better financially than most would've in his situation. the point is that high income doesn't automatically mean you arent poor

So if someone develops a genetic cancer that requires thousands of dollars of chemo, what choice did they make to cause that to happen?

As a blue collar worker, most of us are poor. Not an unfair generalization, altho ofc there are exceptions/it’s not all of us

I feel like you avoid personally accountability for your own actions.

It doesn’t apply to personal choice, I’m strictly speaking about personal choice and not unavoidable instances. These companies provide health insurance to help cover it. Plenty of the time it’s people personal choices that make them poor. Buying high end vehicles, expensive houses, eating out too often, going to expensive restaurants, buying high end merchandise, etc. . People’s choices do affect their financial situations.

So if someone is poor due to medical conditions, what choice can they make to not be poor?

I am former blue collar. I am aware a lot of us are. I am also aware of our demographics general attitudes and this type of post would piss off many of them by making op seem smug and classist. Sweeping generalizations are bad in general but ones like these encourage them to entrench into poorly held positions often times much worse.

If they have poor medical conditions then they wouldn’t be able to work a blue collar job. You’re bringing up things that have nothing to do with the topic. What if this and what if that, it’s just whatabism

You didn’t say sick, you said poor medical conditions. Make up your mind is it just sick or poor medical conditions? Then I’ll answer

Medical conditions includes being chronically or getting sick easily Being dense isn’t an answer. What choice?

Anonymous #1 7w

No, you’re being too broad dumbass. First she say poor medical conditions and then you say being sick. Being sick is a broad term it could be terminal, it could be chronic. It could be anything, but you said it in a broad way. Are we speaking specifically chronic conditions or are we speaking terminal conditions or are we speaking general conditions?
