Quite a bit. I can live a much better life with some basic things in our modern society - modern medicine, a vehicle, a computer, easy access to good food for only a small part of my salary. "Feeling powerless and forgotten" is something that just doesn't matter compared to those in my opinion.

  I'm guessing you're lazy and expect society to provide everything to you on a silver platter. Guesses don't help anyone and add nothing to the discussion.

These things are luxuries to that demographic. feeling powerless and forgotten" is something that just doesn't matter compared to those in my opinion. Neither does a shitty, elitist attitude born of ignorance of the people you are attacking without even attempting to understand them.

      > Got some news for you. You are not representative of the people that the system failing. These things are luxuries to that demographic. I don't believe that's true, no one is starving to death of their own choice in the US. No one is dying due to lack of emergency medical attention. Maybe you have an old crusty vehicle, but it does the job, maybe you have a 5+ year old computer, but again, it does the job. I know fresh out of college students with minimum wage jobs that have these things. I was one for quite some time. These things are not true in all societies in the world. This is a comparatively high amount of luxury and one which I am damn appreciative of. > Neither does a shitty, elitist attitude born of ignorance of the people you are attacking without even attempting to understand them. Stop with the personal attacks. They're utter nonsense and completely irrelevant.
