    Yeah, all those poor folks literally sleeping on cash under their mattresses because they don’t have to spend it immediately on things like, you know… staying alive.

      It boils down to poor people are poor because they don’t invest, and rich people are rich because they invest 😂 nothing else matters!

      Tell me you don’t actually know any poor people without telling me you don’t actually know any poor people.

        Lol. Sure sure. Apparently I’ve been living poor incorrectly by immediately spending my money on things like food, shelter and childcare instead of hoarding it like some kind of Scrooge McDuck wannabe.

        You think poor people have money they don’t need to spend, so they just keep it stashed away in a shoebox or something? How out of touch are you?

          This is an endemic problem with poor people, actually, because poor people are often conditioned not to “trust” banks.

          You’d know that, if you knew them.

            You must be right. I’ve never lived in and among poverty. Thank you for explaining my life to me. Is there anything else I didn’t actually experience?

            Yeah, cause poor people and low income people are so much more rare to encounter during a day, then a millionaire/billionaire or people in top 5%… /S
