Poor people getting fucked, literally
I just want to point something I've been noticing from working in a supermarket. First of all, it seems like poor people all do the same three things. They smoke cigarettes, drink booze, and play the lottery. Three things that eat up even more money than they have, and then they wonder why they can't make ends meet. Now I'm not calling these people stupid, believe me. I'm calling the corporations evil. They're terrible. They market to these people. Poor people play the lottery because they're hoping to hit the big numbers and win a lot of money, but that barely ever happens. So they remain in poverty with less money while they smoke and addictive product and drink another shot of whiskey to drown out their miserable life. A friend of mine also pointed out that poor people, because they really don't have money to do things, will often have sex at a yonger age. Since they can't afford birth control methods, they often have many teenage pregnancies, which leads to more poverty and the cycle continues on for many generations. I did some research on generational poverty back in the day, and it's just staggering because now, while at work, I see it every day, for some people. People who have a terrible life, but they don't know that because that's all they see. They live in the bad neighborhoods, with the bad schools, with the unqualified teachers and we all wonder why poor people can't get out of the rut that they're in. It's so hard, which is why you hardly ever hear of a poor kid making it big, with so many people living below the poverty line. I don't know how people do it, but it's certainly not anything that I would wish upon anyone. They can't afford to go to college, so they have to settle for some minmum wage job and living below their means is very difficult, especially if they don't have any money. But they're used to that. They may steal, break into a building, or something else, all because they need money to feed their families, but that lands them in jail and now their family starves to death or is malnutritioned. And the cycle continues. And it's so sad to see the poor kids and the poor parents, the unwed mothers and fathers. It's just terrible. But if we can spend trillions of dollars on a war for oil, then how come we can't spend some money on the poor, the people who pump our gas, clean up our spills, serve us at restaurants, and many other menial repetitive tasks? Why can't they get a piece of the pie once in awhile? I think it would be nice, don't you? But is that ever going to happen? I don't know, but it damn well should. People should be at least guaranteed somewhere to live in America. I mean, Jesus Christ, we are the superpower of the world and we have millions of homeless. Some by choice, but some have mental illness. Some are so depressed, it's insane. Some have lost all will to live. But it's not their fault. It's the cruel world we live in. But it's not too late to change the situation. We need to work on preaching love, compassion, and taking faith in ourselves and maturing it to a higher level. We need to do this in order to raise the collective consciousness of the entire world, so that violence and thievery and murder is no longer prevalent in such a beatiful world that we are destroying mercilessly at an accelerated pace. Come join me in the fight for a better tomorrow. Peace, love, and happiness to all of you and enjoy life to the fullest, but just don't kill anyone.
