Good for her.
Thay's why I'd put in on the doorstep of where it's needed. Not rich whitey land.
They don't produce anything that the market values enough? Or worse yet, dun dun duuuuuuuun. They don't produce anything. Score nicely. I hate getting bad reviews from you. It really really hurts.
I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!
Food for thought perhaps, note the emphasis placed on feedback in order to avoid erroneous self perception.
As a generalisation - because all situations vary......
They have an "I am poor" mindset, rather than an "I am broke" mindset. When they (sub-conciously?) define themselves as "poor", it seems they abrogate all personal responsibility and self respect, and everything becomes someone else's responsibility. Many also seem to acquire an "it's my right and you owe me" attitude, which makes them look like whining, lazy, ungrateful fucks, to the larger society. These are the ones played by the politicians and the media, as if they are the majority. An ennui also seems to set in, where they can't be bothered to even look after their own fecking cleanliness and hygiene (lack of self-respect?) and seem to lapse into a mode of purely personal hedonism/survival.
There is a section of the population(estimated variously between 3-6%), where that is a state they will naturally inhabit - you can't actually "help" them. Their reality is not "mainstream" reality. The rest of "the poor", can be helped - it does take effort and a lot have dropped into drugs of some sort to "remove" the spectre of society. Many are actually working in a desultory way.
Those who are just "broke" are usually trying to help themselves, most are working, or trying to find work, and it's normally a change in circumstances that changes the "broke" to "managing...just". Probably about 60% of the so called poor in society are of this ilk - stuck in the mud, trying to find traction.
The best way to find traction is to have a more equitable, less stratified, more inclusive society, and a government that works for the common good, but we haven't had one of those for about 45 years........

I may have spotted the problem.
Apparently you're poor not only if you live in a household earning a tad less than average.
And if you're over 11 and don't own a cell phone.

I always wondered if Darwin was going to get the last laugh, and now we know.
Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon
