Tell that to the $43 I have to my name and the hundreds of dollars/many hours needed to go to obtain a diagnosis on my current health crisis. I don’t know how I’m going to pay for all that, upcoming rent, and eat for the next few weeks… I’m spending money I don’t have, to get by, and I have no available credit to use because I can’t build credit without getting a secured card, which I can’t even save $200 for because I’ve been struggling to make up for over a decade of making around $20k/year while living in a large city. I can’t even keep the one shitty car I own on the road doing all of the work on it myself. I get around in a car I’m borrowing from my parents, which they can’t really afford to let me borrow because they’re in crippling debt themselves. And no, I don’t spend on frivolous things. I don’t drink anything but water and one coffee a day, which I make at home. All my meals are cheap, mostly rice/frozen veggie stir-fry’s. My only option for escape is to become a vagabond and hope my undiagnosed heart issues don’t kill me, if my diagnosed issues don’t first, without meds.
But, I’m wasting my words. You have enough privilege that you can’t fathom a world in which things are just simply unfeasible. Good for you.
I’m not sitting around waiting on others. I’m diligently working to improve my situation with the limited resources I have. My limited resources don’t afford me the luxury to pick my entire life up and move. That was the point of my post, in case you missed it, you willfully ignorant twat.
I’m not assuming anything. I replied to what you said with a fairly detailed explanation of why it’s impossible for me to move my life at this time. You seem to be having a hard time accepting that some people don’t have the same privileges as you.
I called you a twat because you’re talking to someone you know next to nothing about and assuming I’m sitting around waiting on other people to fix my problems for me. What an incredibly insulting thing to say to a stranger. I have lived a very difficult life so far and I’ve worked extremely hard for everything I have. I’ve spent many years working 60+ hour weeks in a physically and mentally demanding profession, with little material wealth to show for it. Not because I haven’t been trying hard enough. My industry is highly unregulated and, despite my role being a very niche technical profession, most of us are heavily exploited until we’ve been in the game for 1 or 2 decades. This is true for many industries in the US.
You refuse to accept a reality that you’re fortunate enough to have no experience with. That’s willful ignorance. Insulting and talking down to people that have all too much experience with it makes you a twat.
No, you were definitely assuming I suggested it was easy.
That’s why your entire argument is built around how you think it’s too hard.
You resorted to personal insults because you know I have a point and can’t argue against it without them.
I see it all the time when I call out people’s greed and entitlement. Nobody wants to acknowledge their contribution to the problem or how they can take steps to improve their situation.
You’d rather wait for other people to solve your problems for you and attack anyone who suggests solving them yourself.
Leave.
Me when privilege
I’m sure if you tried, you could leave.

My bad, it’s impossible for you to leave.
Just sit around and wait for others to solve your problems for you.
I’m sure that will be a good use of your time.

The problem is that you’re assuming I suggested it was easy.
You assume that any suggestion must be easy in order for it to be viable.
You might want to calm down with the personal insults.
