True, but it’s super frustrating that OP just accepts that being poor right out of school is a typical thing for families, so it’s okay. Like, fuck no, it’s not okay and it hasn’t been. Instead of an excuse, it should be a call for change.
They didn’t say it was OK, just that it has been the case forever, which makes the article essentially pointless or at best like the Mitch Hedberg joke “I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too”
Indirectly the star system / black hole, by way of the two Rush songs about it (well, one about it, then the other about a Greek-inspired mythological tale set in it)
Again, we are the richest country in the world and we don’t even have universal healthcare, abortion is banned in a lot of states and our billionaires pay very little taxes.
We are the richest country in the world.
We are the host nation to some of the richest corporations in the world.

I disagree, it seemed like they were saying it was okay by the way they worded it. Maybe not okay, but just the way it is.
On another note, what is your username in reference to? Is it a show I"m not familiar with or maybe the constellation?

Oh cool, that’s a fun rabbit hole to go down. Thanks for the links.
If you’re new to Rush (or prog rock in general) those may be a bit much… Here’s a more accessible one! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LXKZq0fYDw
Pretty much. Some people here seem to be having a hard time with reality.
Infected by parasites, yes.
These issues are not unique to your country.

There is no “we” here.
Are we the richest? I mean—per capita? Because if we are, then it’s our spending that’s the problem.
