Comment on The bad behavior of the richest: what I learned from wealth managers

if don’t work then:

if ur rich, u don’t need to
if not, u rely on welfare programs

of those that are not rich, and not working, there are some that cant work, or cant find work, and don’t want to work. the first two groups seem to get ignored and the last one gets all the negative publicity

I don’t even get the folks wanting people who don’t want to work working. Have you ever worked with folks that don’t want to work. I would rather they be sitting on the couch getting high. basic income all the way.

That is true. I have never been judged for being lazy as fuck, despite having not worked a single minute in the last >20yrs (not paid, only voluntary “work”).

Poor people I know get judged for that all the time, constantly. Even though most of them couldn’t even work, even if they wanted to. Due to traumata or more visible disabilities. And they also get judged by the rich AND poor alike. The rich managed to portray these as the scapegoats for why everything sucks. Disgusting.
