Poverty is a moral failure

This shite is too deep for a Friday morning

Did you escape poverty?

Whose moral failure is it?

I failed the shite out of your mom's morals last night. She gave me money until she was in poverty.

This country doesn't have true large scale poverty like other parts of the world.

Don't we give out free phones to make up for that

to have winners, there must be losers.

I truly believe that in a perfect situation, you will have ~33% of the population that is just going to be slackers. They are just going to be raised "shitty". Until we can force people to raise their children to a certain standard, we are never going to get rid of that. Taking resources from the successful doesn't help them get out of that cycle. It just keeps them alive and breeding. Until they are useful in the workforce, they can't be helped.

Then there is the question....what is a livable condition? And what level of "comfort" in our lower class is required to be morally "okay"? Do they have to be at a certain percentage of comfort that the highest class gets to enjoy? Or do they just need food, shelter, and other basic needs?

I have a moral compass that won't let me just watch someone die in the street. But it's not my responsibility to make sure they live as good as I do. That's on them (or their parents).

Moral failure by whom?
