ah that's me, I'm a bit out of touch (partly due to neurodivergence ^^;)... I grew up decently well to do, not loaded but we lived comfortably in a nice neighborhood & could afford occasional nice things. my dad traveled for his work & my mom for her charity work, so I've gotten to travel a lot as a kid, and I remember being surprised at hearing about peers who had never even left the area, let alone go out of state or out of the country. I've since recognized my privilege so I'm not shocked anymore by others' lack of travel, but I do love to share my travels when ppl want to hear about it!
The "autism &Adhd not being around in her day" post gets me so mad the reason that autistic /Nurodivergent people weren't around much pre 1985 was that they were locked away in mental asylums so" normal people" didn't have to deal with them ,autistic children and adults were chained to walls and left to sit in their own bodily waste or sat out side in freezing weather to freez to death. It was only when new medical information came out in the 80s &90s that the autistic community got treated like humans and started getting cared for and educated . Both my teenage boys are autistic and adhd and go to an amazing special needs school in the UK. i have learned a lot about the history of how badly nurodivergent people have been mistreated in the past, and i will try my bloody hardest to never let it happen again.
The very first person to officially be diagnosed with autism is still alive. That's how recent the discovery of autism is. Edit: I was wrong, he died just last year. But that's still pretty recent. His name was Donald Triplett.
8:34 oh gosh had a similar experience with a friend of mine. We where driving in a bus and saw some homeless people outside and my friend, a young girl, said some similar bullcrap. Like they are probably more happy and having each other than being rich.... I was stunned and all I could say was "well I'm pretty sure these folks would at least appreciate a roof over their head".
That is romanticizing poverty. Some people look at a child going to school with a plastic bag to carry his notebooks instead of a backpack as inspirational, when in reality it is sad.
I have a messed up immune system from having Covid twice. On top of that, my childhood asthma came back to bite me in the ass this past February after over a decade thanks to developing a chest infection/walking pneumonia. I was fighting that shit until the end of April and still have a barky cough to this very day (as of writing this). When I was finally starting to feel better about a month ago, I had another asthma attack which caused a coughing fit. My dad is somewhat emotionally unstable and I think he has some sort of narcissistic or antisocial personality disorder. He literally told me, in an annoyed tone: “You’re not sick. It’s not that bad. Take a deep breath. It’ll help you”. Uh, what? I just had PNEUMONIA. And I’m sorry that I can’t control when my airways swell up and I can’t fucking breathe!!
I asked my dad, (in 2022) "what do you think a living wage is?" He said "$15?" He couldn't believe the debate had been going on so long that an actual living wage was now closer to $30
Yeah, if you do the budgeting, people who argue against it would be shocked. They often still assume 20 years ago prices. Rent isn't $200 in a high cost of living area anymore. My townhouse from 20 years ago that was $215 per week is $600+ now. House that was $250 in 2005 would be $700+. We'd do groceries for 2 for under $100 for a fortnight, now $100 does a couple of meals and toiletries, etc, maybe a week of meals if really cutting back. I think living wage as a calculation should be atleast - median cost of rent + average utilities costs + average groceries cost per person = upto about 70-80% max of after tax/deductions income and the total divided over whatever is classed as full time employment (usually 36-40hours per week). That should allow for basic standards to be maintained for housing and utilities (including phone, electricity, and water as well as transport) and food. A little leftover for other expenses or savings. In my area you are looking at rent 300, utilities 300, groceries 100 which at the above equation brings you 700, meaning a $900 or so after tax income, which with a low tax rate bracket of around 20% brings you upto near enough 1100-1200 gross income per week. Over 38-40 hours per week = $30 like you said. That is very rough and scrounging figures, too, not buying luxuries and living in less desirable areas. That figure quickly jumps if you need to be closer to a town or more expensive areas, etc.

Story 6 - he could have saved himself time and made the up difference for her, but that would require having some empathy and compassion. Also, it would make his joke so much less obnoxious. Though I have said something similar but vastly different circumstances. A dole bludger (Aussie for basically living on welfare and not even trying) trying to scrounge their funds to buy the cheapest smokes they can get and cycling a few cards before splitting it between multiple forms of payment. So I joked about my essentials not being as much of a hassle. How they can go pay $15+ for a pack of smokes when most of that kind are behind on utilities and rent amazes me.
When my wife and I got our house and first started we'd go to McDonald's and split a meal for dinner and use their Wi-Fi. We do well now and don't have financial worries, we're not rich by any means, but the bills are paid. But those evenings at the McDonald's doing stuff we needed Internet for and downloading cheap computer games so we could play offline at home together are some of our favorite memories.
Pretty much every single time I complain about money and people offer solutions like not ordering DoorDash or buying coffee every morning Yeah thanks buddy I wasn't doing those things to begin with because guess what I'm fucking poor, The last time I had DoorDash was literally several years ago at this point, in the rare times I've even been in a Starbucks have been because somebody gave me like a $10 gift card for a birthday or something
I recently heard this Australian think tank say that getting rid of minimum wage is the best way to deal with poverty as it incentivises poor people to look for higher paying jobs.
My Division Supervisor thinks if you show up at around 5mins before a place closes they'll let you in. He also thinks we're supposed to move our bins back in after they dropped it off. He doesnt say anything about how bad they leave the bins. Did i mention this is a job/program to help people get better jobs
Do you know what would be interesting: despite how out of touch they are with "normal" problems... are they happy? Like if they're not much happier despite being on top, then the race to the top is only fun because of the race, not of the reward itself.
Money makes you comfortable and gives you better opportunities to enjoy interesting things, but it does not make you happy per se. For example, when someone wins the lottery, they do not necessarily become happier - they are still the same person, and in fact can be miserable because they become cut off from the people they knew previously, and are bombarded with people with their hands out. The winners find they need protection because now they are big targets, whereas before they were just a random face in the crowd, not a high visibility target.
I think you'll find that when you take worrying about money out of the equation, it does make people a lot happier. I find that people who posit such a question in the first place have also never really had to worry much about finances and generally come from a pretty privileged place, even if they fail to recognise it themselves.
Each of the people saying such ignorant things needs to be stripped of their position and required to live paycheck-to-paycheck (a worker's paycheck, not a CEO's). The lady who said the people in the Mexican huts were the happiest, should be asked "Would you be happy living there with no electricity and no running water and essentially no money?"

“Homeless people have the most freedom, they can just go anywhere”
….we were sophomores. I was surprised that this girl passed grade preschool.
I used to intern for a homeless shelter. There's no shortage of grown ass adults who genuinely believe this too.
