you can take steps not to be poor but then get screwed over anyways. be it bad luck or an innocent mistake.

sometimes life deals you a shitty hand. other times you screw up without meaning to. and the moment you do, the whole “don’t be poor in the first place” rhetoric doesn’t matter because you’re trapped by the system.

exactly. i can never pick up a gun in my life because of a stupid policy, after the medical industry screwed me over by hooking me on prescription meth.
