4 years on T this month , CAN STILL CONFIRM , masturbated to Bloodborne yesterday . <| sep |> This whole Anyone can be rich in America , even you ! thing that ' s such a core , ingrained facet of our culture is the definition of a double edged sword , that ' s honestly starting to just look like a shit deal . FWIW it ' s not even true . There ' s a measure of this called social mobility i . e . if born poor , will you die poor . The US scores very low on this in comparison with the rest of the west , the only western democracy that ' s worse is the UK where there is the formal class system . A big part of the problem imho is that if you do try to set up your own company then the cost of failure is massive , you lose healthcare automatically just by trying your home lifestyle are at risk . It ' s easier for most just to stick to their McJob and just scape by . But who is to say our system isn ' t fair ? If you are born poor you are less likely to have intelligent parents . If you don ' t have intelligent parents you are less likely to be intelligent yourself . Maybe our system just rewards intelligence more than others ? I don ' t really have a problem with rewarding qualities like intelligence . To be honest all of the poor people I know who were intelligent are no longer poor . They got free rides to good colleges and now have good jobs . Now the dumb ones are still poor but that ' s not really the system ' s fault .
