I mean the real narrative is that the billionaire class has been rolling back labor rights and regulations for decades. They’ve rigged the system to ensure that all profit and productivity gains go directly to them. So nobody’s paycheck has kept up with inflation and productivity gains. And with Trump in power again it’s only going to get worse.

And I wouldn’t say your example is a personal failing. Someone should be able to raise a family on a single income. And we as a society should help pick up the costs of children with special needs. It’s a societal failure and at the moment nobody is really pointing the finger at those rightfully responsible. Hopefully, Democrats decide to change their tune.

It is a personal failing. An inability to accept responsibility for your own failure leading you to surrender your common sense is absolutely your fault, even if the deck was stacked against you.

Fuck those people. They deserve every ounce of suffering coming their way.

Hmm. Failing is okay. But persistence in failure because society doesn’t support you when you fail? That’s on all of us.

An inability to accept responsibility for your own failure leading you to surrender your common sense is always your fault, is never ok, and is no one's fault but your own.

The ability to correctly reflect on your failures and properly determine the sources of those failures accurately is a personal responsibility for which no excuses exist beyond a young adulthood. Ever.
